RUSTIC... YET DELICATE
The KINTO CERAMIC LAB Teapot 500ml (17oz) is perfect alongside finger sandwiches at your afternoon tea party, or for adding elegance to your desk as you drink green tea during a late night study session. The handle of the teapot can be gripped comfortably. The large strainer is easy to clean and allows tea leaves to open widely inside and release their flavour.
Roughness and delicacy are the expressive elements of CERAMIC LAB. Developed by working closely with craftsmen in traditional pottery villages of Japan, it is a fresh interpretation of Japanese tableware for the modern lifestyle. Knowledge and skills were inherited to develop the product - from the proportion of clay and glaze, to the sensitive transformations while firing that depend on temperature and humidity. Featuring the warm textures of clay, the humble designs give comfort to the user. CERAMIC LAB is made of sandstone unique to the Hasami region of Japan, mixing sand and rocks with Amakusa porcelain stone mined from Amakusa islands. This porcelain clay ensures durability and deep nuanced expressions are created by the iron in the sandstone reacting with the glaze.

Use for drink service, from the kitchen to the table.
Do not overheat in a microwave or heat without water. Do not use abrasive cleansers or steel wool. Product size and shape varies in each item due to manufacturing process. Appearance of colour glaze unevenness varies in each item. Some products may take on scorched-like texture on the surface. It is an unique glaze effect called "yo-hen", unintended color transformation show on the ceramic and porcelain after firing.
After use of metal utensils, grey marks may become noticeable on the surface of tableware. These are called metal marks, and they are caused by the friction between porcelain and metal. To remove them, we recommend using a soft cleanser such as Bar Keeper's Friend and gently rubbing with a wet cloth or sponge.
