Teapots are so simple yet cool, since they do exactly what they are meant to with no frills.
Yes, they are. They actually were invented in China. It was during the Yuan Dynasty.
That's quite a while back! What else do you know about them anyway?
Most teapots have a opening and a lid, and you just add the tea and water. So easy to pour a cup of tea when it's done.
That really is easy. Were they just used for tea back then?
Well, during the tang dynasty, they used a cauldron to boil tea, instead of a teapot.
Oh okay, that's interesting. I assume that dynasty preceded the Yuan then?
Yes, and of course we advanced in teapots and that's why we have air holes in the lids, to stop dripping and getting burned, while we pour tea. 
I was just gonna ask about that. Are there any other ways that the teapot has changed over the years?
tea and hot water are added, a handle for holding by hand and a spout through which the tea is served. Some teapots have a strainer built-in on the inner edge of the spout. A small air hole in the lid is often created to stop the spout from dripping and splashing when tea is poured. In modern times, a thermally insulating cover called a tea cosy may be used to enhance the steeping process or to prevent the contents of the teapot from cooling too rapidly.

Oh, I guess that's it. That'll keep them talking to themselves for a while. I think most of them are a bunch of fags anyway. Never did a hard day's work in their life. I love when they say, "What do you mean
