Expert Tip: “When selecting a teapot for a minimalist, pay attention to the texture and finish. A matte glaze or subtle, hand-carved details can elevate a simple design,” advises ceramic artist Sarah Miller.
2. The Nature Lover: Delight your nature-loving friend with a teapot adorned with botanical motifs, earthy textures, or organic shapes.
