Teapot Philosphy

What got me started on this topic is a question I posed myself........"How many teapots am I gonna buy?"

And truthfully, I cannot answer that question without first dissecting the purpose of buying teapots.

I believe there are 2 main reasons why one buys teapots. 1) For brewing teas and 2) simply for the sake of building a collection of teapots. If I choose 1, then that ends my teapot buying and search as I already own 3 teapots. If I choose 2, I end up buying more teapots than I can use in my life time.

After giving it some thought, I decided that it is best I combine both reasons together when buying teapots. And by so doing, not only will I buy less, but I will only buy good quality teapots pieces that end up fufilling its purpose.

Hopefully by combining the 2 reasons for my future teapot purchase, I will be able to enhance a teapot's personal and sentimental value and thus making each teapot more special, enjoyable and memorable....... Of course it also greatly helps in justifying paying a higher price for a teapot to the Mrs.
