a thin layer of enamel to prevent the inside from rusting. Furthermore, because of the cast iron, it retains heat
very well. This means that you can serve your tea in the decorative teapot and it will stay warmer for longer.
Western cultures use
porcelain teapots most of the time. It originated in ancient China some centuries ago, which is why the material
used for porcelain teapots is called china. Porcelain itself means anything translucent or white, and that is
ceramic. The Chinese originally used these to make teapots and other kitchenware. Porcelain teapots are

colors and designs. Each teapot mirrors the excellent workmanship of the maker. However, they can easily break
and are very delicate.
