Teapots

[apollotea]

My teapots. It is not really a collection, they just accumulated over time.

The little bitty rose one is to die for cute, is it usable?

[apollotea]

It is usable but very small. Good for oolongs, when I drink alone.

Nice group, here are mine:

tokoname would be nice. I had a few in my store but they all are sold, I didn't even keep one for myself.

What is this bat? Is it a teapot or just an ornament? Hard to see on a picture.

The bat is a tea pet. So, kinda ornamental though they're made of yixing and 'fed' tea to mature. Here's a thread regarding them, though not sure how much info it has. The only other sites I know with much info are in Chinese. :\

What a lovely collection! I just have a few utilitarian tea pots, since I mostly drink alone... I love that little rose teapot, though, and would want one for myself!

I brought the rose one from Italy.

I used to sell teapots but selling teaware is more headache than profit, so I switched to selling only loose tea.

Oh, my kingdom for that tiny rose teapot~

Unfortunately, most of my teapot collection is still in my old house with my sister, waiting for the day I have an excuse to haul it back home. All I have over here is an impulse-buy teapot from Target, and a couple of birthday presents from this year: A half-glass pot for blooming teas, and an electric kettle.

I'm jealous! I only have one teapot. It's small and good for maybe a cup and a half of tea. I think I need to work on my collection.
