Hand blown Euro tea pot. Tea pots have a real artistic, historic and cultural value throughout the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The 1st tea kettle was developed in China in the 16th Century. The Japanese enjoyed various teas, including green tea. By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China, were being produced in shapes which had symbolic meanings, for example, peach shape for long life and good fortune, pomegranate for numerous, healthy children.

Early teapots, when imported to Europe, prompted potters to respond with new variations of teapot culture. Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest of Europe, made the teapot their own specialization.

Herbal teas popularized during the sixties are also earning adoption as other people try to avoid caffeine.
