The Japanese Tea Ceremony elevated tea and all its accoutrements to an art form. The ceremony requires years of training and practice to graduate in the art of making and serving tea. The tea practitioner must be familiar with all varieties of tea, calligraphy, flower arranging, ceramics, incense, and a wide range of other traditional arts. Even guests of a formal tea ceremony must have knowledge of the prescribed gestures and phrases, know the proper way to take tea and sweets, and the rules of deportment in the tea room.
A wide range of tea equipment, called dogu is necessary for even the most basic tea ceremony. The full list of tea implements and supplies is voluminous. From cups, pots, and ladles to cloths, cozies, and caddies, the implements that create this ceremony have made their way into modern day tea service.
In the late 1880s, fine hotels began to offer tea service in tearooms and tea courts in Europe and in America. Served in the late afternoon, Victorian ladies and gentlemen would meet for tea and conversation. Many of these tea services continue today at renowned hotels such as the Ritz and the Four Seasons in Boston and the Plaza in New York.

Stuart's Musings
Gold
Like most investments and commodities, the price of gold is ultimately driven by supply and demand. Gold is an inflation fighter when investors see stagflation approaching. It is considered a de facto currency and, thus, not subject to demand deficiencies caused by worldwide economic slowdowns. Therefore, gold is a natural hedge against the declining U.S. dollar.
Since gold has long-lasting financial value, purchasing 18k, 14k, and 10k gold heirloom and antique jewelry is an excellent investment. I urge you to visit our web site and stop by and peruse our showcases. The time to invest in gold is now. And Showcase Antique Center has a vast selection of quality and affordable gold jewelry awaiting your visit.
