Teapot Collectibles and Resources

Collectible teapots can range from fun/cartoony to elaborate antiques worth thousands of dollars. There is something for every taste in decorating, every personality in collecting and every budget.

Is there anything more reassuring and comforting than a cup of tea? I think not and perhaps that's part of the reason why teapots are such popular collectibles.
