Josiah Wedgwood made a teapot especially for John Wesley as a reminder of their first meeting in Burslem in 1760. It is decorated with a floral wreath which surrounds the 'Blessing' on one side and the 'Return thanks' on the other.

The text reads:
Represent at our Table Lord
Be here and everywhere ador'd
These creatures bless & grant that we
May feast in Paradise with thee

What Wedgwood probably didn't know was that Wesley was not particularly fond of tea. He thought it was bad for the health and also that it was an expensive excess. He claimed that drinking tea caused his hands to shakes: the tremors ceased when he cut tea from his diet.
