Author Description

No ritual matches the restorative powers of afternoon tea, a time to share, sip, and nibble a diversity of dainty and delicious treats. Celebrating the civilized ritual for the ninth year, THE COLLECTIBLE TEAPOT & TEA CALENDAR features a dozen rare and lovely teapots photographed in sumptuous settings of flowers and teatime treats. Exquisite 18th-century Worcester, a cheery T.G. Green polka-dot pot, and Colonial-era silver culled from museums and private collections, each pot comes with an intriguing story to match its delightful design and decoration. With history and lore by food writer and tea connoisseur Joni Miller and transporting photographs by Martin Brigdale.
