blown European tea kettle. Tea pots have a
real artistic, historical and cultural value all over
the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The

The Japanese enjoyed different teas, including green tea.
By the eighteenth Century the teapots manufactured at Yixing, China,
were being made in forms which had symbolic significations,

potters to prepare new variations of tea kettle culture.

of Europe, made the teapot their own specialism.

tea drinking is making a comeback in the America.

of the different tea types. A choice of tea varieties
is perfect for tea time or a simple tea party.
