real artistic, historical and ethnic value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea pot originated in China in the 16th Century.

potters to develop new variations of tea kettle culture.

of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialty.

of the different tea types. A selection of tea varieties
is perfect for tea time or a simple tea party.
