the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea kettle originated in China in the sixteenth Century.

By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China,
were being made in shapes which had symbolic meanings,
for example, peach shape for longer life and good luck,
pomegranate for many, sound children.
Early
teapots, when imported to Europe, inspired
potters to respond with new variations of tea pot culture.

of Europe, made the tea kettle their own specialism.
