WEDDING BELLS

Alan, the real reason I have taken a fancy to the Pyrex teapots is because my granddaughter is being married in early September and she “loves tea parties” so my daughter is planning a “Tea Shower” with all the trimmings. All 9 teapots will be used.

TEAPOT TOPS

Okay Alan I have a question. I have taken a fancy to the Pyrex teapots designed by Mr. Carder. Of the ones I have several have metal lids done by a second party. One particular one has not weathered handling over the years and the chrome has given way and an faint brassy finish is showing through on the edge.

My question is should I have it re-chromed?

p.s. One dome I found on EBay with a beautiful infuser, well it turned out to be sterling, now if I win the Power Ball the symposium is on me! (Ed.–sadly for us John did not win)
