Novelty Teapots
Fabulous Gifts for Tea and England Lovers
After water, tea is the second most popular drink in the world and England's love of tea is a byword. Afternoon tea, anyone? It's more than that, though. In the UK, we drink over 100 Million cups of tea every day - and we don't tie tea drinking to a specific time of day. Tea is wonderful first thing in the morning. It's a pick-me-up during the day. And it eases us to rest in the evening.
Tea blends abound, as do tea paraphernalia - and every one of us has a favourite tea, a favourite cup, and often even a favourite teapot. And that love affair with all things tea has lasted for centuries!
Don't believe me?
Then head to Norwich Castle and check out the Teapot Museum. From the
tiniest thimble to the world's largest teapot, you'll learn that teapots are a
serious business. How it looks, pours, and keeps your cuppa warm are very important considerations when choosing a teapot.
And if you follow me into the wonderful world of novelty teapots, you'll realise that our love of tea and teapots goes far beyond a pick-me-up beverage at five o'clock.
Teapots make fabulous gifts, and the ones we've collected on this page - which you can all find on Etsy - are an homage not just to the English love of tea, but also to the English sense of humour.
So here... is a short introduction to novelty teapots for England lovers!
