Teapot collectables are teapots with which you've fallen madly in love, cannot live without, and absolutely must have in your possession.
Before you start buying teapot collectables, just as with any new hobby, do so with your heart, not your brain.
Although this is counter-intuitive to the way we usually make decisions, this is the number one rule to follow before purchasing your first teapot.
This rule should be gloriously followed before you scour the planet for teapot collectables.
If you don't love teapots (or any other collection you may start), do not buy it.
Once you've decided you do want to collect teapots, narrow your search by asking yourself these questions: • Do I want teapots of a specific color, shape, or material? • Do I want vintage teapots from a certain decade or year, such as the 1920's or 1955? • Do I want character teapots, such as Betty Boop, Peter Cottontail, or Margaret Thatcher? • Do I want whimsical, novelty teapots or serious, silver teapots? • Do I want a mix of teapots from all categories? • Do I want to collect complete tea sets, such as a Chinese tea set or a child's tea set? If you have a favorite sports team, movie star, cartoon character, or color, you will find teapots to suit your taste.
If you can imagine it, someone most certainly has created it in the form of a teapot.
Want a square teapot? No problem! In case you're wondering, square (or "cube") teapots are used on ships since they can't tip over.
There are a few things to remember before you begin any collection: • If you don't love the object, don't buy it! Boredom will quickly set in and you will have wasted your time and money.
• Do not collect something that you "believe" will be a good investment.
When it comes to collections, buyers are fickle and it is almost impossible to predict what the next "hot" collectable will be.
• Only collect objects of your choosing, not items based on what others tell you to collect or what members of your family collect.
Remember the first rule: Follow your heart, not your brain.
If you truly love teapots, and/or all things associated with teapots, such as tea, tea trays, tea sets, tea kettles, tea cozies, and tea cups and saucers, then you've picked the right hobby and you should immediately start searching for teapot collectables.
