About this title

Synopsis

The rise in popularity of tea-drinking in the 18th-century led the British potteries, inspired by their counterparts in China, to produce fine teaware. The changes in fashionable design which teapots have mirrored tell a tale of social history and economics. A national touring exhibition of British teapots and tea-drinking produced by the Norfolk Museum Service, with the help of Twinings and the Museums and Galleries Commission, will travel in 1992-1993 to: Norwich, Salisbury, Bristol, Bradford, Cardiff, Milton Keynes, Leicester, Edinburgh and Sunderland.
