Ecoferia at El Observatorio

A few weeks ago I went to an Ecoferia (eco-fair) that had all sorts of fun green things, including tea things.  Here are a few that caught my attention.


Item: Glass teapot being heated over a tealight.

Location: El Observatorio Café, Lastarria, Santiago, Chile

Comments: I am generally a fan of glass teapots (I actually had one myself until it met its untimely demise several weeks ago), so I thought I'd take a snapshot of the one they were using to make tea to give out as samples at the tea booth.


Item: White ceramic teapot with blue flowers and matching teacup.

Location: El Observatorio Café, Lastarria, Santiago, Chile

Comments: This was a cute matching teapot and teacup hanging out in a box at the booth.  Pretty flowers!



Item: White ceramic teapot with blue flowers.

Location: El Observatorio Café, Lastarria, Santiago, Chile

Comments: This teapot is similar in design to the one above, but with bigger flowers spaced further apart.  I am sensing a theme in this company's tea-ware.



Item: Red and white striped ceramic teapot.

Location: El Observatorio Café, Lastarria, Santiago, Chile

Comments: This one was from the cafe itself downstairs, not the fair going on that day upstairs.  I saw a similar red-and-white ceramic teapot floating around, but it was red with white polka dots.  So pretty!  Maybe one day I will be lucky to get a shot of that one, or the two of them side by side.  I like mixing and matching things like stripes and polkadots, which you shall see more evidence of in an upcoming post!
