Know before you buy
The rusty metal glaze is a decorative finish applied to the ceramic surface. While it provides a unique, textured appearance, the interior remains smooth and food-safe for your tea rituals.
The top strainer is designed to catch standard loose-leaf tea effectively. However, if you are brewing very fine-cut or powdered teas, you may still experience some sediment in your cup.
With an 850 ml capacity, this piece is optimized for personal use but can comfortably serve two people. It is best suited for intimate tea sessions rather than large gatherings.
The side spout is engineered for controlled pouring to minimize spills. To ensure a clean pour, we recommend a steady, deliberate tilt when serving.
We recommend hand washing the tea boat with mild soap and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals, which could dull the unique metal glaze finish over time.
