blown European teapot. Teapots have a
real artistic, historical and ethnic value throughout
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
first teapot was developed in China in the sixteenth Century.
The Japanese drank different teas, including green tea.
By the 18th Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being produced in forms which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for long life and good luck,
pomegranate for numerous, hardy kids.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted
potters to develop new variations of tea pot culture.
Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder
of Europe, made the teapot their own specialization.

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

to "tea time." Excessive social drinking is
increasingly frowned upon and, with executives facing
shrinking expense accounts, the "power lunch"
is being substituted by the "power tea." Herbal
teas popularized during the 1960s are also realising
acceptance as other people try to avoid caffeine.
