istanbul collection NEW!
Elegant and practical. A curvaceous, pear shaped, regal teapot inspired by Turkish tea traditions. The elongated tulip-shaped spout ensures a fabulous, drip-free pour. Tulips originated in the Ottoman Empire, and eventually spread to Holland through southern Europe in the 16th century. They symbolize love and beauty. The specially designed handle stays cool, while the thick single-walled interior of the teapot ensures your tea stays hot! A built-in strainer adds to the convenience for brewing loose tea. Professional gauge stainless steel. Made in China. Dishwasher safe. After each use, wash with mild soap and a soft cloth, or in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleaner or cloth. Do not leave tea in the pot overnight.
1 litre / 33.8 oz size teapot | $60.99
We offer Istanbul replacement strainers desiged to fit the Istanbul teapot. Dishwasher safe.

middle kingdom
This collection celebrates the traditions of Chinese porcelain while also creating stunningly beautiful new objects, which are subtle, timeless, refined and elegant. Each piece is made exclusively in Jingdezhen, China, where the imperial kilns were once located. Pieces are produced by master potters, working in collaboration with designer and artist Bo Jia.
Middle Kingdom follows the Chinese imperial porcelain traditions. Exquisite hand painted designs adorn many of the pieces. The high quality of the porcelain is evident. It is delicate, ethereal and translucent - hold an object up to a lamp, and observe how it starts to glow from the light. At each stage in the creation of these pieces, great attention is paid to high aesthetic standards. Since each piece is handmade, it is beautifully unique. Although these are new pieces, they are imbued with the luster of antiques.
The handwritten Chinese inscription on the bottom of each piece reads: MiddleKingdom, Bo Jia Clan.
Care for these as you would delicate Yixing pottery. Click here for delicate pottery care instructions.

MERCURY RETRO DISCONTINUED The Mercury Retro Collection of teapots, creamers, sugar pots and trays has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The collection's popularity has led a variety of knock-off companies to manufacture counterfeits of the product line. Unfortunately, the market has been flooded with poorly made imitations, and as a result, the Mercury Retro manufacturer has decided to discontinue the entire product line. We still have some Mercury Retro items available while quantities last (including replacement strainers). Once we sell out of our existing inventory, we will no longer be able to stock these items. Click here to see our wonderful selection of new stainless steel teapots and accessories. The Istanbul Collection and Tea Lab Collection are superbly designed collections that contain durable, elegant and affordably priced, high quality stainless steel teapots, creamers and sugar pots. |
