description: Ranging from the elegant to the quirky, teapots and coffee pots are among the most familiar and best loved household items. They are very collectable, being decorative and easily displayed and occurring in many different shapes and patterns, and can be relatively inexpensive. Despite the popularity of tea and coffee in Britain today, teapots and coffee pots were both virtually unknown in the early seventeenth century.This book charts their development over a period of three hundred years, providing information on the materials used in their manufacture, influential factories and designers, and a guide to dating the many different styles.
