4. The design concept of Wedgwood's "Historical Teapot" series is to carefully select six of the most representative teapots from the various shapes of teapots produced between the 18th and 19th centuries, and shrink them down to make "miniature versions of historical teapots".

Wedgwood「歷史小壺」系列作品的設計理念，是將其十八/十九世紀間生產的各種造型壺中，精心挑選出六款最具代表性的茶壺，加以縮小製成"歷史茶壺小型版"。
