History of the Teapot
Did you know the first tea sets were made from clay and date back to 2,000 BC? No, not 2000, 2,000. That's 2,000 years before the first iPhone. What a time to be alive.
Fast-forward to the 18th century, when the Industrial Revolution brought mass production and the teapot became a staple in every household. Who knew the Industrial Revolution could be so...steeped in tradition?
But wait, it gets better! In the 19th century, the teapot became a symbol of middle-class status, with intricate designs and delicate china. Because what's classier than a fancy tea set?
