Nail Head Teapot Red

A medium hand-crafted Japanese cast iron tea pot with removable strainer: Holds 400 ml

Hand-casted and hand-finished, this kind of durable cast iron teapots is called Nanbu Tekki. It is said that the Nanbu samurai family, who ruled parts of the Iwate Prefecture on the northeastern coast of Japan's main island, developed the now internationally recognised shape and style. Since the 17th century, cast iron has been valued as an ideal material for teapots, as it is known for its excellent heat retention - so your tea will stay at the perfect temperature for longer. With its detachable stainless steel mesh strainer and porcelain enamel interior, our Nail Head Teapot combines contemporary design with traditional wisdom.
