Hand blown European tea kettle. Tea kettles have a real artistic, historical and cultural value throughout the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The 1st tea kettle originated in China in the 16th Century. The Japanese enjoyed 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 extended life and good fortune, pomegranate for many, hardy children.

Early teapots, when brought to Europe, prompted potters to prepare new variations of tea kettle culture. England, being more keen on tea drinking than the remainder of Europe, made the tea pot their own specialty.
