The Teapot and Tea Calendar for 2009 by Joni Miller with photographs by Martin Brigdale is beautifully done. Each month is graced with a photograph of a table setting of a teapot and savories that is delightful to the eye. In addition there are individual postcards for each month that I enjoy sending to friends throughout the year.

Each picture each month is described in detail to the origin and date of each of the teapots and a caption of information on the art of tea throughout the years. I have purchased many Teapot and Tea Calendars for the last few years as gifts and my friends have saved each of their calendars at the end of the year. A wonderful treat to myself and friends.

I have been buying these calendars for at least five years for myself and a group of friends who love them as much as I do, so we've made a Christmas tradition of this giving and receiving this calendar. They are beautifully done with so much interesting history noted on each photo.

Whether you enjoy socializing at tea parties, sipping quietly on a cup of tea at home by yourself, or just appreciate the beautiful tea sets, this is the calendar for you. I have had this calendar in my kitchen for the last 3 years, and I love it! Every photograph is staged to enhance the beauty and history of each tea set, and you feel like you're almost there having tea. I only wish they would include the recipes for the delicious looking goodies they include in the photographs!

Excellent teapot photo choices presented with valubale research information on tea/teapot .

Every fall, I purchase multiple calendars for my office. I spent over an hour reading calendar reviews. Reviews for the 2011 teapot calendar were good and indicated that the daily squares were large enough to allow short notes and that each month showed the preceding and following month. The 2012 calendar does NOT include the preceding and following month--a feature critical to me in making the calendar as useful as possible. Very disappointed that this feature was not included in 2012. It's also more hassle than it is worth to attempt a return/refund when purchasing for a corporate account.

It seldom happens that a product is even better than what one would expect but these lovely tea calendars are just such a product. They are beautifully designed, gorgeously photographed and user friendly. The date boxes are a good size for those who make good use of their calendars for scheduling while the photographs are exquisite and draw one in for a closer look. For history buffs there is information on the origins of each month's unique teapot and in style they range from the formal to the quirky. I have had many positive comments on my teapot calendars over the last few years and this year have given three of the 2009 version to friends for Christmas gifts.

I bought this calendar as a gift for a friend that collects teapots. She was so overwhelmed by the whole concept of a teapot collectors calendar that she had tears in her eyes. Being a teacher she found all the background information about teapots just fascinating. It came with postcards as an added bonus.

It's a very good product, just as I expected. Ihave bought 2009 Calendar and it pleased me so much thar I decided to adquire the new one. The postcards are very beautiful and I've sent them to my friends.

Beautiful, informative calendar. Anyone interested in teapots, tea parties, etc., and beautiful photography, would love this calendar.

For many years, these calendars have shown the beauty of the elegance of teapots, and this year is no exception. Skillfully placed, you can see the craftmanship in each unique pot.

Highly recommended.
