After presenting a history of tea, the book moves into decorative arts, detailing a myriad of mediums: teacups and saucers; tea tables, kettles, and stands; tea boxes and canisters; tea linens; tea spoons; and much more. The book next discusses fine arts, highlighting tea-related paintings such as still lifes and eighteenth century domestic portraits. The book concludes with a tea glossary, recipes for tea cakes, and a directory of traditional tea events. Over 330 glossy, full-color images depicting the decorative and fine arts described. A comprehensive and fascinating work.
