A man from Bulgaria's Ruse boasts a huge teapot collection and is even considering attempting to enter the Guinness Book of World Records.

Thirty-seven Anton Dimitrov who loves drinking tea in the winter, is currently working at a recyclables collecting unit in Ruse, Pressa Daily reported. It is exactly there that he has discovered the charm of the overused teapots and started collecting them.

His collection now consists of over 1200 pots and continues to grow on a daily basis.

Most of the items have been enameled, but there are some made of copper and chrome as well. They all come from a variety of countries - Bulgaria, Russia, Romania, Germany and even Austria.

The oldest item in the collection was produced in Bulgaria back in 1937.

''The teapot remains a fond memory of home comfort that needs to be preserved,'' Dimitrov said in an interview for Pressa Daily.

He often needs to engage in rearranging the items in his collection on account of the limited space he has at the recyclable collecting unit.
