The History Of Teapots
Before there
were Teapots…
Teapots are relatively a new invention when compared to how long
tea has been enjoyed. In the 7th century, tea was in brick
form. A piece was cut off and then broken up so that it could be
boiled in cauldrons full of water. The tea was sipped from wide
bowls, rather than cups. Shortly after, powdered tea became
popular. The ground tea was mixed with hot water in a deep, wide
bowl. This type of bowl helped facilitate the whipping of the
powder to a froth with a whisk. When the powder settled, the tea
enjoyed from the bowl.
Early forms of Teapots
The traditional teapots weren't needed until the type of tea changed. In the
1300's, leaf infusion started thus creating the need teapots to allow for the
tea to steep.
Teapot-like vessels have been around in China for thousands of
years, but they were used for wine and water. These vessels had
a spout and handle and eventually were adopted for the steeping
of tea.
The most popular teapots from
this time were produced in the YiXing region of China. These
teapots were made purple clay and were known to be of fine
texture and high quality. These YiXing teapots were hybrids of
the earlier drinking bowls and the modern teapots. Not only were
they used to brew tea, but were actually drinking vessels. An
individual would drink directly from the spout of the pot.
The teapot design of today
Today, we are more familiar with the globular shaped teapot, a
European invention. The inspiration for the design might have
been twofold, Islamic coffee pots were similar as were the
Chinese wine vessels. Early European teapot designs were
inadequate due to poor workmanship and poor quality of
materials. A breakthrough occurred in the early 1700's. A new
clay was found and with the help of new technology, a fine
porcelain was created that rivaled the best that China had to
offer.
