You want something really fun to collect and you can build a really nice set over a period of years. My choice is Tea Balls.
This I found in an antique shop in Oregon. The rarity coming from the fact that it came in the original presentation box and is perfect.
The tea Balls can be sterling which many of these are and can be very ornate or plain.
Watch for these at estate sales and at times, garage sales.
The better ones you might watch antique stores. Its my opinion that the value of
these are being over looked. Especially considering the workmanship that many of
these have in them.
This little house is not ornate but a lot of fun.
You can tell the user of this Tea Ball loved their tea and serving it with love!
And you can find tea balls in porcelain as in the following tea ball
As you can see tea balls come in many shapes and sizes.
This is a fun thing to collect and display.
If you have a favorite tea ball that you would like to share and show others, email me a picture and give me a little background of the piece and I will try to add it to this page.
As always check out my home page to look at other great things to look at!
