blown Euro tea pot. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historical and ethnic value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea pot originated in China in the sixteenth Century.

By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for longer life and good fortune,

Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to develop new variations of tea pot culture.
England, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the tea pot their own forte.

tea drinking is making a comeback in the U.S.A..

of the various tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is perfect for afternoon tea or a simple tea party.
