This may seem a bit odd and counter-intuitive, but you truly do not need to like tea to love teapot collectables. Although tea may be a soothing beverage to some people, it's definitely not for everyone. Thus, the expression: "Not my cup of tea." We now know that tea is one of the healthiest drinks on the planet, it will calm you down and add years to your life. But no one drinks anything merely for its health benefits. Rarely will you be able to convince a coffee drinker to switch. Iced tea may be refreshing on a hot, summer day, but you may simply prefer lemonade, soda pop, or even iced coffee. Not a problem! To each his (or her) own. Teapot collectables are aesthetically pleasing, suitable for all budgets, and create instant ambiance to any room. They can be conversation pieces, objects of humor, heirlooms from your beloved Aunt Zookie, or just objects that stole your heart and make you laugh out loud. How many collections fit that description? The reason for your collection is not the least bit important. A wonderful post by Vince McDonald states: "It's been said that 'there is nothing more reassuring than a good old cup of tea.' It's part of the British heritage and a way of life. The vessels that brew the tea have been cast and made into every conceivable shape known to man, they possess that unique sense of welcoming appeal that only teapots can give. In the modern day collecting world, novelty teapots reign supreme." So, for those of you who want a "serious" hobby, teapot collectables are for you. And, for those of you who want your silly-bone tickled every now and again, teapot collectables are for you. In other words, no matter what your taste, preference, or personality, there is a teapot, somewhere, calling your name.
