real artistic, historical and cultural value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The
1st tea pot originated in China in the 16th Century.
The Japanese enjoyed various teas, including green tea.

were being made in shapes which had symbolic significances,

potters to prepare new variations of tea kettle culture.

of Europe, made the tea pot their own forte.

tea drinking is making a comeback in the USA.

of the various tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is ideal for tea time or a simple tea party.
