Teapot in "Kohiki" matt finish with pewter handle

This teapot has a glittering solid, lead-free pewter handle and is made by Japanese potter Katsufumi Baba. "Kohiki" is a traditional decorating method. It involves dipping the teapot into a white "slip" or suspension of clay in water, resulting a natural appearance. The simple, chic body and the sparkling pewter handle makes this teapot a superbly unique item for your table. It is a beautiful combination of Eastern and Western aesthetic values. 

Thanks to it being a hand made product, each teapot's surface has its own unique glazing effects. The teapot's body is durable. With its modern design, it brings a simple elegance to your tea time.
