Teapot Island
Teapot Island is a teapot museum in Kent, England. The museum grew from the personal teapot collection of owner Sue Blazye, which started when her grandmother gave her a teapot in 1983, encouraging other family members and friends to do the same.〔 The growth of her collection eventually led to her needing a larger space to house it, and she established Teapot Island in Yalding, in November 2002.〔 The building used for the collection used to be a cafe called the Riverside Diner, which has been in operation since the 1950s.〔〔 The collection has been valued at £15,000.〔
Teapot Island was featured in the ''Guinness Book of World Records'' in 2004, for being the largest collection of teapots.〔 The museum lost this title in 2011, when it was awarded to a man in China with a collection of 30,000.〔 In 2011, the museum was featured in the book ''Crap Days Out'', in which the authors stated: "It's awful if you don't like teapots. But it's probably all right if you do."
During the Christmas 2013 storms the teapot collection was damaged and were removed from their display cabinets, the owner hopes to clean-up the museum to reopen as soon as possible. However should the clean-up become expensive the museum may have to be closed and all of its assets sold off.
