Before the short, stout, handle-and-spouted teapot of today, there was just a bowl; a simple clay Chinese vessel that was made to hold and infuse tea leaves in hot water, before it was poured through a hole or strainer. It took until the 16th Century for the first actual teapot to appear, in Yixing, China: a town now famed for its teapots.
