Teapots

  The teapot is a specialized tool for brewing tea, typically consisting of a lid, body, bottom, and handle (or spout). Common materials include pottery, purple sand, porcelain, and glass. Its main function is to hold tea leaves and hot water, releasing the tea's aroma through steeping. It is an essential tool in the process of tea appreciation. It's important to note that the teapot used for brewing tea differs in function and purpose from the kettle used for boiling water and the tea set used for serving tea.
