Hello Attic Folks!
Today I have a little item that I didn't even know what it was when I picked it up at a flea market. All I knew was that it was marked "Walt Disney World" so I figured, "What the heck. Why not?" Here it is...
As it turns out, it's a spoon rest! It could also be a tea bag holder. Either way, the teapot shape makes sense. It turns out it's from the mid 1970s, which is (shockingly) about 50 years ago!
I don't use it as a tea related item, I just put misc. small items in it. It seems to work well for that.
Umtil next time, keep searching for treasure!
Yer not gonna pour very much tea out of that pot. ;-p
ReplyDeleteWhen I read "1970s" I thought, "Oh, not that long ago". Then you burst my bubble and said that was "about 50 years ago".... That's HALF A CENTURY!... I'm old [grumble].
As a spoon rest, it's a handy thing to have around. When I'm cooking, I usually just place the spoon on the counter next to the stove, or in an empty frying pan that happens to be on the stovetop.
A nice little find. Thanks, Stu.
