The company originally started at a remote farm at Swineside, hence their original name, Swineside Teapottery.Leyburn, at the foot of Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales, is now home to the Teapottery, renowned for making unique, hand-made, collectable teapots, sold world-wide.

You'll love a visit to the Teapottery, where they make only teapots. Teapots of every size, every shape, every style - except teapots that look like teapots. Each one is individually slip-cast, hand-painted and decorated - and thus an original, unique to its owner. Some of Teapottery's retired teapot designs now sell for three and four times their original cost.

Since the Teapottery was established in 1978, the witty and original designs have been sought out by collectors in every corner of the world, from Iceland to Saudi Arabia, from Moscow to Hawaii. HotTeapots.com has shipped some to many corners of the World. Can we ship the next one to you?
