Paintings of tea drinking

Click any image to enlarge

I'm a coffee drinker although occasionally I will drink tea. These are paintings of teacups, tea pots, and people drinking tea. Americans associate tea with daintily upraised pinky fingers, but tea culture varies widely in the places where it is pervasive: England, the Middle East, India, and East Asia. There is a mix of paintings from different times and places. Enjoy, especially the last one if you're American.
