Teapot Stands were designed to keep a hot teapot away from surfaces that could be harmed by the heat. They can be made from many different materials such as wood, silver, brass, copper or ceramics. Metal teapot stands have the advantage that they will not be harmed by the hot teapot.

Teapot Stands can be plain or ornamental so not only do they provide a practical solution to the tea table, they can also be extremely collectible in their own right.
