I was delighted to read about the racing car teapot registered 820236 as I acquired one (complete with straining holes) about 45 years ago. It is cream with silver trimming and in reasonable condition. Does it have a good resale value, and if so, what would it expect to fetch?

hello Joan,
You could expect to get between £50 and £100… the cream colour is not a rare finish unlike the pink blue or black.
All good wishes

Does anyone know whether using used teabags after they have dried is harmful?

I re-use dried tea bags frequently; hope they aren’t harmful!

I have a teacup ministry which is where I visit people who are in some kind of need, lately it has been for shut-ins and nursing home residents. I also have a personal teacup and saucer collection numbering over 200. A lot of my older “friends” have teacups and I use that as a starting point for our friendship. I would like to know how to reference some of my teacups especially some of the older ones from occupied japan, bavaria, etc. I also give talks on teas to help subsidize my ministry. I give some large teas for senior citizens but prefer to work one on one with them as some have longer attention spans than others I get some teacups donated and them give them to my “new friends”. Any information or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Several years back, while visiting London, I happened into a delightful shop and purchased a delightful tea. I would love to get some (a case!) to enjoy with friends here in Kentucky. Don’t remember the manufacturer but the flavor was Apple-Kiwi or Kiwi-Apple. Wish I had bought more but didn’t. Can you help me locate some of this? Thanks

Hi, Kay, wish I could help, but I’m not a big drinker of flavored teas. You might check vendors who tend to carry a lot of flavored teas, such as Harney & Sons or Republic of Tea. Thanks for reading and happy tea hunting.
