Introduction

A side-handle teapot in green celadon. The straight handle makes pouring easy with one hand.

Specifications

Craftsmanship

Celadon owes its green colour to a small amount of iron in the glaze, fired in a reduction (low-oxygen) atmosphere. Longquan-style celadon is known for thick, soft glazes; where the glaze is thinner, over edges and carving, the colour becomes lighter. Shade varies from firing to firing.

How to Use

Rinse with hot water before brewing. Add leaves, fill with water, put the lid on and pour out completely after each infusion so the leaves do not over-steep.

Care

Wash by hand with warm water and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive scourers. Do not expose to sudden temperature changes. Hand-made and hand-painted pieces vary slightly in colour, pattern and size; photos are for reference.
