Inspired by the shape of diamond facets, Bre & Co’s porcelain Origami Teapot boasts bold lines and a strong design that holds four cups of tea. The pot is slip-cast using a traditional method, then hand-finished with a raw black glaze by Brooklyn ceramic artist Michio Shimada.
Ippodo has been producing high-quality tea for almost three centuries in the heart of Kyoto. All of their teas come from Japan’s famous Uji region, and their sweetly flowery Kaboku Sencha tea is Ippodo’s highest quality varietal. Paired with the expertly handcrafted kyusu teapot, this kit will undoubtedly delight and impress even the most fastidious green tea drinker.
Utilizing age-old production methods and materials, design and architecture house VW+BS inject contemporary aesthetics into timeless pieces. The forthcoming Silt Collection uses the ancient Chinese material purple clay, renowned for its absorbent and flavor enhancing qualities traditionally used for serving black tea. The cups and small jug are all stackable with a simplistic modern touch.
