I love collecting teapots.  I bought one online and i want to collect an entire house full.  What can you tell me about teapot collecting?
Ah, yes, teapots! Some teapots today actually have a strainer built in to the spout! Super useful!
Cool. I can use that when i make tea. I will look for this feature.  Is a long spout better than a short one?
As far as the spout, that is more of a personal preference, as to how it pours easier for you, as well as it depends on if you use loose tea bags or if you use tea leafs which would need a strainer in there which ultimitely makes the spout bigger thus longer.
Now that i think about it, the teapot i bought is kind of a small one.  I would like to make tea by the gallon.  Should i look for a bigger teapot, or will i get better results  with the little one?
teapot was invented in China during the Yuan Dynasty. It was probably derived from ceramic kettles and wine pots, which were made of bronze and other metals and were a feature of Chinese life for thousands of years. Tea preparation during previous dynasties did not use a teapot. In the Tang Dynasty, a cauldron was used to boil ground tea, which was served in bowls. Song Dynasty tea was made by boiling water in a kettle then pouring the water into a bowl with finely ground tea leaves. A brush was then
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.
