Made from rich Gimhae dark clay, this teapot gains its distinctive character from the ancient art of wood-firing. The intense heat and natural ash deposits in the kiln create subtle variations in color and texture, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind. Its robust yet refined form is perfect for brewing your favorite teas, enhancing every moment of your tea ritual.

• Dimensions: Approx. 4.6 x 2.7 x 2.6 Inches (11.8 x 6.8 x 6.5 cm)

• Material: Authentic Gimhae dark clay.
• Craftsmanship: Handmade and wood-fired by Lim Yongtaek in Gimhae, Korea, ensuring an authentic and unique Korean ceramic piece.
Unique Artistry:
Because our Korean teapots are entirely handmade and wood-fired, each piece is unique and varies slightly in shape, color, and natural "beauty marks" from the firing process. This ensures that the Korean ceramic art you receive has its own distinctive story and may subtly differ from the pictures, making it truly one-of-a-kind.
