Welcome to the Old Amsterdam Porcelain Works!
We know teapots
Legend has it that the first teapots to reach Europe came via a
Dutch trader in Amsterdam during the
1700s. Many famous Dutch paintings
from the era depict teapots being used to infuse loose teas
and add a stylish touch to the table. The Old Amsterdam
Porcelain Works continues the tradition by offering a complete
line of tea accessories.
Did you know?
Teapots rose to prominence
in China during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). Prior to this
era, dried tea was usually crushed into a powder, mixed
with salt and boiled into a thick paste – no teapot required.
The Ming dynasty witnessed a growing appreciation for whole leaf
infusions and the subsequent need for teapots to brew them in!
