For these teapots we had the potters in Jianshui apply a subtle carved texture to the surface of the teapot. Then after firing they were given a high polish. The result is a metallic bronze appearance. These teapots have not been glazed. Additionally these feature an internal ball filter made from clay.

These are each handmade by a group of artists who work together. They are single fired and unglazed. This is a true clay which lacks any sand. The natural minerals in the clay will enhance the flavor of your tea. Jianshui is in Yunnan, and the clay used in these teapots comes from the same mountains that grow puerh tea trees. We appreciate that connection. We blogged about this unique town here.

Since these are handmade products each are unique. There are slight variations to each. These are gorgeous teapots. The lids fit and they seal well. They pour fast and easy. They are ready to go!

The volume is a close approximation. The exact volume of the teapot you receive may be 5% more or less. It will be pretty close! These are the perfect size for solo brewing or with a friend.

These are tiny teapots that will easily sit in a single hand. They measure on average 10.5cm from tip of spout to end of handle and are around 6.5cm tall.
