Hand blown European tea pot. Tea pots have a real artistic, historic and ethnic value all over the world. Teapots have become great gift items. The 1st tea pot was developed in China in the 16th Century. The Japanese enjoyed different teas, including green tea. By the 18th Century the teapots made at Yixing, China, were being made in shapes which had symbolic significations, for example, peach shape for extended life and good luck, pomegranate for many, sound children.

Early teapots, when brought to Europe, inspired potters to produce new variations of tea pot culture. Great Britain, being more keen on tea drinking than the rest of Europe, made the teapot their own specialism.

Now, tea drinking is making a comeback in the U.S.A.. Some state Americans are switching from "happy hour" to "tea time." Excessive social drinking is increasingly frowned upon and, with executives facing shrinking expense accounts, the "power lunch" is being replaced by the "power tea." Herbal teas popularized during the sixties are also realising adoption as other people try to refrain from caffeine.
