Victorian White Porcelain Teapot Place Card Holder
A tea party is a special event, a delicate gathering of friends and family coming together to enjoy the warm brew of a tasty cup of tea. As you relate memories, share stories and connect with one another, the decorative elements you set throughout the space have the ability to make or break such an occasion. You are reaching for elegance, for style, for the gentle sophistication that embraces your guests while making the nature of the occasion apparently clear. At the same time you want a sense of whimsy and joy, a playful delight that enchants everyone into the relaxed mood of the day.
The Victorian White Porcelain Teapot Place Card Holder does both in one small object. Crafted from the finest snow-white porcelain and glistening with smooth perfection, it stands just 3" in height, with a sloping, bell-bottom core, a gently curving spout and a dainty little handle. Despite that tiny size, it captures glee and attention as a place card pops from the top, waving like a little hand, beckoning your guests to take their seats.
Set one at every place along your tables and watch your guests be drawn to their settings, smiling, grinning and delighting at the tiny little teapot, short and stout, beckoning them home with its tiny little spout. Because these teapot cardholders can be combined with place cards that are almost any color, you can match your palette exactly and set the mood any way you like: ivory and gold for a formal wedding, soft pink for a bridal tea, sage for a garden lunch, deep red for a holiday table.
This can be combined with Mini White Porcelain Teapots and the Personalized Travel Tea Tin, placed next to each place cardholder. The tiny personal teapots, next to the tiny teapot place card holders, create a sense of unique personalization, giving every one of your guests a sense of belonging to the party. Another great place to use them is at a wedding, where guests can carry the little teapot home afterward as a bridal tea party favor they cherish forever.
Choose your quantity above, one for each seat, and let a row of tiny white teapots do the welcoming for you.

Which one should I choose
Shoppers setting a tea-party or wedding table usually weigh the teapot place card holder against the other tea pieces named on this page, or against a plain folded card.
| Victorian White Porcelain Teapot Place Card Holder | Choose it when the seating plan should be part of the decoration and guests should be able to take something home. |
|---|---|
| Mini White Porcelain Teapots | Choose these when you want an actual miniature teapot at each place as a keepsake rather than a card holder. |
| Personalized Travel Tea Tin | Choose this when the favor should be something guests use later, and let the teapot holder carry the name card beside it. |
| A plain folded tent card | Choose it only if the table is already crowded; a flat card gets lost among glassware and blows over outdoors. |
For a table that seats people and decorates itself at the same time, the teapot place card holder is the pick, with the mini teapots or tea tin beside it when you want a separate favor.

It stands 3" high. It is a miniature teapot shape with a sloping bell-bottom body, a gently curving spout and a small handle.
What is it made of?
The finest snow-white porcelain with a smooth, glistening glaze, so it reads as fine china on the table rather than as a novelty.

No. The teapot is not personalized. The personalization is on the place card that pops out of the top, which you can print or hand-write with each guest's name.
Are place cards included?
Place cards are not included. The holder takes place cards in almost any color, so you can match your own stationery, palette or theme exactly.
Is it sold individually or as a set?
Order the quantity you need. Most hosts buy one teapot place card holder for each seat, and there is no minimum order.
What else does it pair with on the table?
Mini White Porcelain Teapots and the Personalized Travel Tea Tin sit beautifully next to each place card holder and make each setting feel made for that guest.
