Azmaya's Dobin teapot in a creamy white lime glaze that captures the feeling of the earth and the artisan's hands. Handcrafted in Iga, Mie Prefecture, from local clay and glaze, it holds around 530ml and has a rattan handle. It isn't suitable for open flames, but it has excellent heat retention.
Iga clays are renowned for their high temperature resistance, which makes them ideal for kiln firing. After being collected, the clay is wedged and moulded by the craftsmen's hands, one by one.
Also available in black. Pairs well with the Iga Kittachi Cup – Lime (sold separately).

Before first use: for the best performance, we recommend a simple sealing process. Simmer rice water (the water left over from washing rice) inside the pot for about 10 minutes. This forms a protective film over any fine cracks in the clay's surface, preventing dirt and odours from adhering.
With lime glazes, tea tannins may occasionally create faint dark patterns on the surface. This is a natural process that adds character and can shift over time; soaking the pot in cold or lukewarm water before use can help reduce it.
The rattan handle comes detached in the box. To attach it, slide the rattan into the looped ceramic and push down the ring to secure it in place.
