blown European teapot. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historical and cultural value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first teapot was developed in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese enjoyed assorted teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for long life and good fortune,
pomegranate for many, hardy children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to produce new variations of tea pot culture.

of Europe, made the teapot their own specialty.
Presently,
tea drinking is making a comeback in the U.S.

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