warmth and solace and good company as Yixing teapots are. I’ve been a collector
of teapots for yrs, before I even was aware that I was grouping them!
Clearly there were more emotional links than conscious deliberation in my
experience. I still keep around one of my first teapots, a piece of Chinese pottery that was a wedding present as much as
thirty three years ago! Now I am receiving compliments on my Yixing. So many
Yixing figures are dateless and endure the decades and ever-changing fashion very
well. Plus I sometimes I marvel about it I understand that the teapot’s suggestions of
solace and its surprising ability to blend with every plausible
interior decoration from early American to Asian to Chinese, from traditional to
contemporary account for my attraction to teapots. Nevertheless Yixing teapots will
earn the same appeal for you!

them to be rather economical. A collection of Yixing
