Know before you buy
No, this Dobin teapot does not include an internal filter. It is designed for traditional use, where tea leaves are typically strained through a separate tool or allowed to settle at the bottom before pouring.
No, this teapot is not stovetop safe. It is intended for serving tea only; you should use a separate kettle to boil your water before pouring it into the teapot.
This teapot is not dishwasher safe due to its delicate hand-painted details and metallic accents. We recommend hand-washing it gently with a soft sponge and mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the icchin technique and the gold and silver finishes.
Yes, the brass top handle is designed to be flexible and can be adjusted or removed for easier storage and cleaning. Please handle it with care to avoid scratching the porcelain surface.
No, this teapot is not microwave safe. The presence of metallic gold and silver accents means it should never be placed in a microwave, as this could cause sparking or damage to the finish.
