Crafted by Quỳnh, a 6th generation Vietnamese potter from the historic ceramic village of Bát Tràng. The teapot is an improved and more refined version of previous models that anh Quỳnh has made. Notice the deeper red hue and the beautiful and vibrant color of the clay. The shape and the indentions of the teapot is much more defined.
This teapot features a distinctive arch-bridge lid, a round compact shape, and a short spout that's great at fast pouring, and built-in strainer. Quỳnh uses a proprietary blend of local red clay and Chinese red clay, and fires in high heat-resulting in a deep, rich chestnut brown/red hue.
The level of quality found in anh Quỳnh's creations is a rare find in Việt Nam. His teapots represent a blend of traditional techniques with a modern artistic sensibility in Vietnamese teaware. Each tea pot is a vessel for tea and a work of art. We're excited to continue bringing his exceptional teapots to you, designed for those who appreciate meticulous craftsmanship and is looking for a piece of teaware that can grow alongside their tea journey.
Each piece is assembled by hand - no two are the same.
When brewing, the pot's unglazed and porous interior enhances the silkiness and flavors of a variety of teas, particularly highly oxidized oolong teas, black teas, and sheng-style dark teas. We love this pot for everyday use and encourage you to do so too as the porous nature of the teapot absorbs the tea's oils, slowly developing a beautiful patina similar to a well-seasoned cast iron skillet.
