One interesting innovation in everyday household items is the development of a glass teapot.  Glass is very easy to shape and mould, so it is easy to create new and intricate designs.  This works very well when making glass teapots, as the teapot is bith functional being the vessel in which tea is brewed, and the centerpiece of the table and therefore works well when the design is interesting.  Glass is also a good material to use for tea making as it does not have the metallic aftertaste that many teapots leave in the tea that is brewed within.

The glass teapot has proved very popular, with lots of different options available from glass teapots desgined with the delicate flavor of flowering tesas in mind to practical teapots that double up as kettles.  Many such teapots come with infusers which makes them ideal of loose leaf teas as well as the teabag.

On very striking model is the Bonjour Zen Glass Teapot with the integrated stainless steel infuser.  This teapot is simple in its desgin but nevertheless striking in the overall look achieved.  It has a high quality feel to it, perhaps due to the attractive bamboo handle and bamboo stand.  Anyone looking at purchasing a glass teapot should not overlook the Bonjour Zen Glass Teapot.
