The Beauty of Teapots

By: Sandra Wilson

As an on line browser and shopper, you will find getting the perfect teapot for yourself is an easy, yet at the same time difficult, task. You will find it simple because you just have to perform a google or yahoo search to locate many pages of teapots to look at. The difficulty will come in choosing just one or two pots to call your own.

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.

But even with just the teapots themselves, you will find an almost endless variety of ways to choose a pot. You can start with the what the pots are made from such as glass or metal. There are clay teapots made from whatever clay is local to the pot maker such as the Yxīng teapots of China. You also have beautiful glazed and painted porcelain pots. The material you choose may depend on the tea you drink.

Next after materials, is the shape of the tea pot. You can find a tea pot in just about any shape such as one with six sides or made to look like a rabbit. There are the interesting looking Russian samovars. There are tall pots and squat pots.

Beyond materials and shapes of tea pots, you can have your choice of just about any color you wish. Reds, greens, blues and yellows abound. Many beautiful teapots come in blue and white or red and white. Many are glazed with whatever colors are popular at the time they are created. It would be like looking through history when looking at the colors of some pots. Even the precious metals will be around in the golden or silver trim on some teapots.

Finding a teapot from a specific location can probably be done if that is what you want. Being a person who wants a teapot, at least enough to look on line, probably means you want something you can't find locally. It might be a Tetsubin from Japan or a special Staffordshire from Great Britain. It could be the most fragile porcelain from China. Whatever it is, there are teapots from all around the world.

Going beyond the other characteristics of the teapot, you will also find that the times have left their mark as well. Each movement or fashion has affected the humble tea pot. Among these you will find Art Deco, Rococo, 60's modernism, and Art Nouveau. If you have a taste for a particular art or architectural style, you just might be able to find a teapot that reflects it.

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."
