Polish enamel teapots, coffee pots & kettles
With cream and white being the usual colours for British enamel, the arrival of the vibrant colours from Poland in the sixties was hard to resist.
Unlike many British kitchen accessory manufacturers who started with canisters and diversified into other products, Polish enamel started with coffee pots, teapots and pans but didn't produced canisters, flour and bread bins until later.
All the coffee and teapots were the same shape: Tapered for the coffee ones and round for tea. But kettles came in three designs: Classic, tapered with a folding handle and a gypsy-style one with a pot belly and folding handle.
So on-trend was Polish enamel that Habitat stocked the ladles, skimmers, coffee pots and steamers in red and blue colourways.
By the seventies, orange, brown and green had been added to the colour range.
Many people don't just have Polish enamel in the kitchen, but enjoy using it on camping trips, too !
Choose a look with just one colour, or mix and match ! All the sizes are diameters at their greatest width.
