Tea time!

When is it not time for tea?

This is a fairly large teapot. It holds 1100ml tea. Enough for a few large mugs of tea or many smaller ones.

This teapot was in the soda chamber of Pepino, a wood kiln at Pleasant Hill Pottery. It got a sweet firing. The grey areas you see are from wood ash and soda ash hitting the yellow glazed surface. It adds a lot of interest to the pot, I think.

This teapot has a built-in strainer, making it perfect for brewing loose leaf tea. It is unglazed on the interior to allow for tea tannins to build a patina there. They season in a similar way to your cast iron pan. No special care is needed. Just rinse with boiling water… never use soap!

My pots are microwave, dishwasher and oven safe. I make them with stoneware clay and fire until they’re vitrified, around 2350°F.

If a pot you like is sold out, just email me and I can make you a similar one! I also take commissions of all sorts; please email me if you have an idea.

I ship with USPS and UPS and send tracking information after sending each order.

I ship internationally; it’s no problem, but it may require a little extra postage. It’s hard to estimate as it changes from country to country. For these international orders, I will contact you if there is a discrepancy between what you pay and the actual cost.
