About Mad Hatter

Time for tea shop.com

Hello, my name is Andrew Barter, also known as the “Mad Hatter.” Together with my partner Robin, we are the proprietors of the website http://www.timeforteashop.com, and our accompanying venture, Time for Tea , a casual stall holder based at Local Antique Fairs, Brocante’s, and Village Fetes throughout the North Hampshire/Surrey area.

My passion for vintage China, particularly pieces associated with the tradition of taking tea, has been cultivated over many years. This interest began while collecting and trading alongside my mother, whose memory continues to inspire my work following her passing in 2007. Over time, I have built an extensive and carefully curated collection of vintage China.

We also have an extensive collection of Royal Memorabilia.

Through “http://timeforteashop.com”, I am delighted to offer both sale and hire of high quality vintage tea sets and complementary pieces, ideal for special occasions and memorable gatherings. In addition, I provide a bespoke china matching service, helping customers source and replace cherished items from tea and dinner sets that are no longer available through mainstream retailers.


I look forward to assisting you in creating your unforgettable events in the future, please get in touch by phone or email me at madhatter@timeforteashop.com
