Key Features and Craftsmanship

• Original Artisan Design: This is not a mass-produced vessel. Each pot is hand-thrown and gilded. ensuring that the Silver-Clad effect inside reflects the unique contours of the ceramic.

• Water Purification: The gilded silver interior is prized by tea masters for its ability to cleanse the brew. It is especially recommended for delicate high-mountain Oolongs and aged White teas. as it highlights sweetness and clarifies the aroma.

• Wabi-Sabi Texture: The exterior glaze mimics the appearance of natural frost or weathered stone. Over time. as the pot is nourished by tea. the coarse pottery will develop a warm. subtle luster.

• Short Spout Flow: Engineered with a stout. integrated spout for a powerful yet controlled eagle-beak pour. ensuring no dripping and a clean cutoff.

Ideal Use Cases

• The Private Ritual: The 140ml size is ideal for solo tea meditation or sharing a high-end brew with one close companion.

• Professional Cupping: A favorite for those who test premium teas. as the silver lining provides a neutral yet enhanced environment for flavor evaluation.

• Creative Gift: A sophisticated choice for architects. artists. or tea collectors who appreciate original. heavywork ceramic design.

Maintenance and Care

• Rinse and Air-Dry: Simply rinse with boiling water after use. Avoid any dish soaps. as the pottery can absorb residual scents.

• Silver Restoration: The silver interior may naturally develop a tea patina (darkening). This is safe and preferred by many. but if you wish to restore the original shine. a light wipe with a soft cloth and a touch of baking soda/toothpaste will work.

• Handle with Care: Though high-fired and durable. treat the gilded surface with care to avoid scratching the silver layer with metal tea needles.
