 Introduction

I have always been a tea drinker. And, as passionate

as I am about tea, I am even more passionate about tea¬
pots. I have been collecting since 1994, and I currently
have about 950 teapots. The collection includes all types
of teapots. I have received numerous teapots as gifts.
The main criteria for purchase is that the teapot is aes¬
thetically pleasing to me. I have acquired them at home
and abroad from antique shops, garage sales, flea mar¬
kets, gift shops, catalogues, craft shows, auctions, an¬
tique shows, estate sales, and department stores. They
are so much a part of my life and can be found in just
about every room in my home. While not all teapots are
utilitarian, each is a unique work of art in its own right.
I see beauty in each one. I have collected, researched,
and catalogued my teapots. The end result is this book,
which I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed
putting it together.
