Ask Design Mom: Tea Pots
Ask-Design-Mom-Question: Dear Design Mom, I'm searching for a few good tea pots/sets... I think I might start a collection...but first need one to start my tea drinking. I'm in love with going to tea houses... love the herbal teas. Thought I'd bring that ambiance into my home. I've been browsing online and haven't found any I'm in love with. Plus...I'm not sure what I should look for in a tea pot... to find a really good quality one...that doesen't just look pretty...thought I want that too. Thank you much! Cheers, Stephanie
Answer:
A teapot collection sounds so charming, Stephanie! Thanks for your question. Currently, the tea pots I admire most when I spot them as I shop are the small cast iron Japanese pots. So pretty. And nicely weighted. They're not hard to find. This site has dozens or I even saw some at Filene's Basement the other day that were fantastic.
Not feeling the Japanesey vibe? This pale yellow Copco Teakettle by Micheal Graves is too charming for words.

you know where i always see tea pots that make my heart skip a beat (and i dont even drink tea!!) is at Home Goods/TJ Maxx ... its a great way to get a collection started without blowing the bank
If you want ceramic tea pots there are collections everywhere, especially English. I love Spode.
Thank you Design Mom!
check out the very adorable tea set at www.tahitiannoni.com ...It's very simply stated with a neutral green color. I want one and don't even drink tea!
