I pre-ordered this book around 3 months ago. It was well worth the wait. I'm so pleased to have this book as an addition to my collection.
If you love Tea Pots .... you will love looking through the many extraordinary designs. This is a book you can look at over and over. And, just when you think you've seen them all ... you will see something new and exciting that you didn't notice before.

I just let my artist friends see this book. They were all in awe and each found several favorite teapots. I am ordering an extra for the studio as I probably wouldn't see MY book again should I leave it there for inspection.
If you have a potter friend who likes to make teapots, this is the book for that friend. 500 Teapots is a straightforward, beautifully photographed and compiled book. All one simply has to do is look at the pictures to become inspired in trying new shapes, textures and glazes in teapot throwing and design. You will not be disappointed.

If you like teapots, you'll love this book. There are some really beautiful pots here beautifully photographed. I was pleased to see that I own pieces by a couple of the potters. My only gripe is that I know potters whose work I would have included. Silvie Granatelli of Virginia, who makes imcomparable teapots, and Chris Simoncelli of Atlanta come to mind, just to name two. I would have preferred that no potter had more than one teapot shown-- there are several who have as many as three-- in order that other equally good potters could have been represented.

I am a ceramist whose work is just starting to support more sophisticated forms. I am especially fond of teapots, so this book had lots of wonderful designs to admire.

4.5 STARS, GREAT COLLECTION
Sometimes a "look inside" feature is not terribly important because you get everything you need from the blurb. But other times, it can make a huge difference. Read more

Great Teapot Book
Love this book. Many different creative designs. The photography of the teapots is also excellent. Recommend new potters to buy this book before making teapots.
