Tetsubin Teapot - Cobalt Blue |
Throughout the 18th Century, the tetsubin was an ordinary household utensil used to heat water, prepare tea, and even create warmth. But by the early 19th Century, tetsubin designs ranged from very simple to elaborate. The more intricately designed tetsubin commanded the highest prices. The design or style of a tetsubin reflected the class of its owner, and thus came to be a symbol of status. This heavy 18 oz. cast iron pot in cobalt blue has a very large stainless mesh infusing basket which allows the leaves plenty of room to infuse the brew. The inside is completely coated with a clear enamel glaze to prevent any metallic properties from affecting the tea. This pot comes with a cast iron trivet which allows the pot to sit safely on the table. $69.95ORDER CG-0103 |
