Generously sized teapot for those who wish to savour their tea time longer—with the rare convenience of direct-flame heating.
Made from Banko-yaki in Mie, Japan, this 1-litre teapot can be placed directly over a flame to draw out tea's rich aroma at high temperatures—ideal for hojicha, chai, and more. The earthenware's far-infrared effects mellow the water whilst superior heat retention keeps it warm longer.
The striking natural rattan handle is bent and shaped by hand—a nearly extinct craft preserved through collaboration with a Shimane artisan. Each handle is unique, making mass production impossible.
The milky white glaze offers a warm, refined look that pairs easily with existing teacups. Crazing will gradually absorb tea colour with use, developing a beautiful patina over time. The interior features minimal grooves for easy cleaning.
