Note Cards
Ideal for writing to family and friends,
these fanciful notecards illustrate a group of vividly colored and shaped teapots
in The Met Collection.
***
In 18th-century Britain,
a vogue for tea-drinking and expanding global trade networks
spurred a fashion for imported Chinese porcelain.
British firms responded to this demand by developing
their own ceramic tea wares,
with production clustering in such pottery-making centers as Staffordshire.
These notecards reflect this influential English trend.
Lovely hostess gift.
