Crafted by Quỳnh, a 6th generation Vietnamese potter and one of the few artists dedicated to creating handmade teapots in the historic ceramic village of Bát Tràng, Việt Nam. This 100ml petite teapot features a round shape, and a curved spout for a precise pour, and built-in strainer. It's compact size is great for short concentrated infusions. Quỳnh uses a proprietary blend of local red clay and Chinese red clay, and fires in high heat-resulting in a deep, vibrant rich chestnut brown/red hue. When brewing, the pot's unglazed and porous interior enhances the silkiness and flavors of a variety of teas, particularly highly oxidized oolong teas, black teas, and sheng-style dark teas. We love this pot for everyday use and encourage you to do so too as the porous nature of the teapot absorbs the tea's oils, slowly developing a beautiful patina similar to a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. The level of quality found in Quỳnh's creations is a rare find in Việt Nam. His teapots represent a blend of traditional techniques with a modern artistic sensibility in Vietnamese teaware. Each tea pot is a vessel for tea and a work of art. We're excited to bring these exceptional teapots to you, designed for those who appreciate meticulous craftsmanship in their teaware. Each piece is assembled by hand - no two are the same. Material Clay Volume & Weight 100ml (3.4oz) & 79.5 grams Handling Only hand wash with neutral detergent and non-abrasive sponge.
