The Beauty of Teapots

The Beauty of Teapots
By. Sandra Wilson

Finding a teapot can be as simple, and as hard, as simply looking on line. Simple because a simple search with your favorite search engine will bring up hundreds, if not thousands, of websites through which to search for the teapot of your choice. Hard because there are just so many different choices to make.

Beyond all those pages of teapots, you have more pages of the extras that go to help you with your tea brewing. Lots of strainers and infusers, timers and thermometers, and different bases and removable handles. So many choices to make but so many ways to make your tea sipping more enjoyable.

Then there are the varieties of substances that teapots can be made from. There are cast iron pots, porcelain pots, clay pots, silver pots, stainless steel pots, plastic pots, and glass pots. If it can be shaped into a tea pot and used to brew tea, you can probably find one made of it.

Teapots also come in all types of shapes and sizes. We have tall ones and short ones. We have ones that look like traditional coffee pots. We have round ones, pear-shaped ones and multi-sided ones. There are even fantasy pots that can look like animals or bee hives complete with a couple bees attached.

They come in every color under the sun. There are the various shades of purple of Yixing clay pots from China. There are the red and white Staffordshire tea pots. Of course there is the silver color of silver and stainless steel pots. There are the traditional blue and white pots of Europe.

And if you want to find yourself a pot from a certain region in the world, you just might be able to locate one. There are pots from Great Britain and Europe. There are teapots from Japan and from China. Thousands are made in the US every year as well. It's just one more thing to consider when thinking about buying a teapot.

Not only has geography left its mark upon the humble, or not-so-humble, teapot. Each era throughout time has left its trace as well. Indeed some believe that the first teapots in Europe were not from China but instead were influenced by the Moorish coffee pots. There were the oval shaped ones of the late 1700s and the drum shapes just before the Napoleonic Wars. Even modernism of the last century impacted the shape of teapots. Whatever your taste, there is a teapot for you.

Lastly, not only will your aesthetic senses decide the teapot for you, but the tea you like to drink will as well. There are so many different factors in choosing a teapot. Sometimes it's simply a matter of saying, "I like that one."
