{"product_id":"fire-cypress-teapot-2025-05","title":"Fire Cypress Teapot, No. 5","description":"\u003cp\u003eThrown on the potter’s wheel from a luxuriously dark stoneware, each unglazed teapot is fired in the artist’s hand built kiln, fed every few minutes with cord wood for five continuous days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat emerges from this crucible of fire and ash is a vessel with striking features, surface marked with flashes of luster and iridescence from minerals and carbons wafting through the kiln.  Iron oxide speckles the surface, like copper moss blooming on dark stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis side handled teapot features a unique cypress pine handle, carved by the ceramicist to compliment the shape of each teapot. Inside, the artist has provided a natural perforated strainer between belly and spout, filtering the leaves from your tea and creating a pour both perfectly balanced and proportioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis teapot is one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsage and care: Unglazed wood-fired pieces will season very slowly over time, though limited porosity allows for use of different tea types. Exterior of the teapot will deepen in color and develop a rich luster with use. Hand-wash only without soap or detergent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Song Tea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52169641230549,"sku":"zyc-1021-21","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1728\/6899\/files\/zyc_2_5_1.jpg?v=1760029997","url":"https:\/\/songtea.mom\/products\/fire-cypress-teapot-2025-05","provider":"Song Tea \u0026 Ceramics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
