I am preparing a lecture on history of teaware at the Brownsville
Museum to go with the Teapot show.. I have been gathering imagery
from books and my slide collection. I'd really like some early
British teapots if I could find them. Anyone have any suggestions for
online sources? Lee? Helen?

I can look Marcia. But you know what the real interesting aspect is?
Teapots came from pots the Chinese actually used as wine ewers and
others for brewing medicine. The Brits turned wine ewers into
teapots! If you could show the Chinese ewers and their associated
teapots, that might be of interest to people.
Here is a short history:

Thanks lee. I knew that part already and have some pics of early wine
ewers. But I don't have any early teapots..british.
I'll keep digging.
Thanks again.

Try contacting Winterthur Museum in Delaware. They had a major show last
year on the history of tea drinking in the western world,curated by a friend
of mine. I remember seeing very early teapots of British origin. I bet
they could help....
