| Notes | From inner dust jacket: "Short and stout, of course, is the very least of it. Inspired by the advent of tea drinking four thousand years ago in China, the form of the teapot has arrived in endlessly imaginative variations - humble, elegant, quirky, abstract. In the last two decades the investigation of the teapot as a pure art form has reached an inventive peak, but a fascination with the ceremony of tea drinking and with the objects designed for that ceremony has long flourished in both Eastern and Western cultures."
