Vessels for Tea

When I was in India I loved drinking Chai in the clay cups which you would then throw out.  This got me thinking....what are the other vessels used around the world to drink  ..tea..


Morocco -   Mint tea is drunk in decorated glasses.

 Tibet          - Tea is drunk in a bowl
 
 China       -  Guywan a covered cup so tea leaves are allowed to brew.

 Japan       -  Ceramic Tea cup.  Traditional Mino Yaki cups are made from a region called Mino renowned for its pottery.

 Russian    - Samovars are used traditionally to heat and boil water.  Many Samovars have a ring   shaped attachment around the chimney to hold a teapot.

United Kingdom  -  Tea is drunk in cups or mugs know as builders tea.
