Teapots at home

Like many cultures, teapot is an important item in the Moroccan culture. Whether taking a cup of tea in the morning or having friends for afternoon tea, the teapot is crucial for all these uses. Serving guests using the teapot is a cherished ritual and tea is prepared in the kitchen and then presented to the visitors in the dinning room. Therefore the kitchen and the dinning room are the places where teapots are usually used. 

In addition to their function for brewing tea , the ornate pots are used as a pieces of art and are kept in dinning rooms and traditional salons for decoration purposes.
