The scale of these teapots allows for highly concentrated brews, highlighting the epitomes of flavor and character through each successive steep. These are pots designed for ritual, intended to be filled again and again with near-boiling water and decanted, shared, and savored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZhang Hao Yen’s latest collection of tiny teapots are perfectly proportioned for this style of tea making. Thrown from dark stoneware clay this piece is a study in contrasts with a bright white glaze, undulating belly, and distinct slab carved handle. The artist has enunciated the natural crazing in the surface of the glaze by steeping this piece in tea, drawing out the webs of lines in a color that harkens back to the original clay body. Featuring a hand built interior strainer, this pot is intended for use with all tea types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis teapot is one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsage and care: To wash, simply rinse between uses or hand scrub.
