茶具西渐与本地化

17世纪以后,中国茶叶大量销往欧洲,带动了欧洲的饮茶文化。茶具伴随着饮茶的兴起,在欧洲广泛使用。早期欧洲人所使用的茶具大都从中国进口,在中国也随之出现了特定的外销茶具。随着对茶具需求的增大,欧洲逐渐开始了本土的茶具制作,并出现了具有强烈本土特色的茶具。

Introduction of Chinese tea sets and localization in the western Countries

Chinese tea was transported in large quantities to the West since the 17th century, which gradually inspired the European tea culture.As tea-drinking was getting more and more popular, tea sets were widely used in Europe.Initially the tea sets the Europeans used were mostly imported from China, and accordingly tea sets specifically for export sales were produced in China.With increasing demand of tea sets, indigenous tea sets were manufactured in Europe and the tea sets with local characteristics appeared in Europe.
