Colorful, traditional animation is used in this fairy tale about a little teapot living in Victorian England. When an elderly dowager arrives at the home of the teapot's mistress for tea and crumpets and espies a crack in the teapot's top, she is incensed. Ostracized by the household crockery and later abandoned to the trash, the downtrodden teapot is rescued by a flower peddler and finds new hope in a life of unpretentious simplicity.
