Many in this book likely would not work very well for pouring tea but are interesting, racy, and very different.
The 3 on the right provide a range of the variety included in the book.
I love the glaze on the teapot in the top right hand corner.
I loved the colors and lines on the green and burgundy in the bottom left hand corner. The one in the right hand bottom corner does not even look like a teapot.

ReplyDeleteAs avid tea drinkers, I love the idea of a book devoted to tea pots. We have spent an inordinate amount of time tracking down the ideal pot!

ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting book! I'm a traditionalist so I was drawn to the ivory tea set with black and blue design and cute bird sitting on the handle.
ReplyDeleteSylvia - it looks like we have very common tastes. The ivory and teal set is classy and eye-catching. Good choice!
