History thinks that the teapot was invented in sixteenth century China. Or possibly in Europe, inspired by coffee pots.

I think that everyone can safely agree that teapots are alternately functional, amusing, decorative, and downright silly. Do you have a large functional pot? A neat and nifty one-cuppa? Or is the Charles and Di's wedding commemorative special the only way to brew?
