A week of tea: The top 20 tea pots
Here's something I've been working on for a little while: the Wee Birdy buyer's guide to the 20 best tea pots. The value of a good tea pot should never be underrated, especially if they pack in as much charm and good looks as these little beauties. From chintzy rose buds and polka dots to a modern interpretation of the classic Willow pattern, these little pots do more than brew a good cuppa - they add a splash of personality, colour and good design to the diurnal grind. Essential qualities, really.
