blown Euro tea pot. Tea kettles have a
real artistic, historical and cultural value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first tea kettle originated in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese drank various teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in shapes which had symbolic significations,
for example, peach shape for long life and good luck,
pomegranate for numerous, sound children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to respond with new variations of tea kettle culture.

of Europe, made the tea pot their own specialty.
