Hand
blown European teapot. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historic and ethnic value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st teapot was developed in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese drank different teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being produced in forms which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for long life and good fortune,
pomegranate for numerous, hardy children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to respond with new variations of tea kettle culture.
Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialization.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a resurgence in the U.S.

to "tea time." Excessive social drinking is
increasingly frowned upon and, with executives facing
shrinking expense accounts, the "power lunch"
is being replaced by the "power tea." Herbal

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