Really beautiful "antiques"! Where'd you get these anyway?

Barbara from Florida, United States
I adore these tea pots and how you presented them in a well composed shot.
Not only do I enjoy tea occassionally I love pottery and these two remind me of some creative ceramic pieces.
The wood and green tone with the white compliment the color of the pots.

@Barbara: Of course you would, 'cause you make them and as beautiful as these two, you have to showcase them, thanks so much sweetie ;)
