[QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 176813, member: 878"]The blue ornament has what, in the old days, was called "wire wrapping," though not usually as symmetrically made and applied. Your teapots are more popular than most of your collection. Equal to the bells in the second box which may be older. Possibly just the one next to the gold bell. Would need a closer pic to tell. Not sure if you know the age, but I will give them all an estimate of 1970s to 2000. Some teapots are shown in "Christmas Collectibles" by Margaret & Ken Whitmyer, page 66.
