Height: ~5.5 cm
Diameter: ~11 cm

A teapot with a low, wide shape that allows heat to dissipate quickly and gives tea leaves plenty of room to unfurl. Particularly well suited to brewing green teas and delicate oolongs. The teapot is finished with a warm green oribe glaze and fitted with a comfortable brass handle that can be easily removed for convenient cleaning. The small marks on the lid, visible in the photographs, are traces left by a piece of clay that likely fell from the kiln ceiling during firing. They form a distinctive detail that sits naturally within the wabi-sabi aesthetic. The teapot pours smoothly without dripping.
