GLORIA & SONNY KAMM TEAPOT COLLECTION
Sonny and Gloria Kamm have collected teapots for over 35 years. The Kamm Teapot Collection numbers over 17,000 items and runs the gamut from historical decorative arts to industrial design icons to unique works of contemporary art. In 2004, Sonny and Gloria established the Kamm Teapot Foundation to administer their teapot collection. Its purposes are to acquire, preserve, maintain and arrange for the exhibition of an extensive collection of teapots, tea sets and teapot-related ephemera.
