So Pleased5
I pre-ordered this book around 3 months ago. It was well worth the wait. I'm so pleased to have this book as an addition to my collection.

If you love Tea Pots .... you will love looking through the many extraordinary designs. This is a book you can look at over and over. And, just when you think you've seen them all ... you will see something new and exciting that you didn't notice before.

This is a must have for pottery artists.5
I just let my artist friends see this book. They were all in awe and each found several favorite teapots. I am ordering an extra for the studio as I probably wouldn't see MY book again should I leave it there for inspection.

If you have a potter friend who likes to make teapots, this is the book for that friend. 500 Teapots is a straightforward, beautifully photographed and compiled book. All one simply has to do is look at the pictures to become inspired in trying new shapes, textures and glazes in teapot throwing and design. You will not be disappointed.

A Must Have!!!5
Especially for potters and others who love teapots, this is a MUST HAVE book. It is perfectly and simply presented with large color plates of every imaginable,(and some unbelievable) contemporary teapots from around the world. Make yourself a pot of tea and you could easily spend an afternoon with this book.
