What is really in your Tea Pot?

The latest survey results have just been published and the findings are absolutely, undeniably the most unexpected results from the research team comprised of Canadian, European, Asian, South Asian and American researchers, just to name a few.  The survey was an analysis of Teapots in almost every country in the world, and it is very clear, though never documented or disclosed until now... The main ingredient contained in a Teapot is ... Are you sitting down?

LOVE.

Okay, maybe the Potters at The Potters Place in Courtenay are telling only a half-truth here.  You are right, there was no recent study conducted, nor article or findings published with regards to Teapots, but... nonetheless... We all know that LOVE IS exactly what you find in every handmade Teapot.

During the month of February at the Potters Place, Teapots will be exhibited in our FEATURES window.  We are having our annual Teapot Show.

Close your eyes for a moment, imagine your grandmother and you sitting down and sharing a cup of tea together, telling her some important news, or asking her some important question and watching her sip her tea.  She takes a quiet breath in, then looks at you with loving, knowing eyes and says… it'll all be okay my dear.  When did you last do that together?  Was it last month, or last year, or perhaps it was over 60 years ago.  Remember her looking at you with all that love, and just sharing that perfect moment with her and a pot of tea.

Keep your eyes closed for another moment and see yourself with your best friend, or your neighbour, your partner, husband or wife.  See yourself taking time from the busyness around you to boil the water, steep the tea, pour it and prepare it just the way you like. Sharing a pot of tea often includes an act of “connection”; of taking a moment for yourself and for each other.  How many smiles have you shared over a cup of tea.  If you skype or facetime with friends and family far away, do you make a pot of tea first so you can settle in for a 'long one'?

Now... all that love has to be held in something that functions well too.

There is a lot that goes into the making of a handmade Teapot.  It is quite a lengthy process and there are many components that have to work together in order for your teapot to feel good and pour well.
