wa ceramic teapot 280 ml

Alexandra and Florin, the couple behind POEMI, are passionate self-taught ceramic artists who began their clay journey in 2016 in Sibiu, Romania. With no prior experience, they dedicated themselves to mastering the art of pottery. They started with a small kiln that they keep to this day as a reminder of their humble beginnings, and since have designed custom tableware for restaurants around the world while promoting sustainable and durable ceramics for daily use. Inspired by childhood memories and the beauty of everyday life, their POEMI collections tell unique stories of connection around shared meals: "The plaster on the walls of the house, the passing of seasons which puts its mark on all and everything, the table with the three-legged chairs we used to eat at, the wooden tray where the bread was kneaded."

This teapot has a capacity of 280ml and is part of the Wa collection. "Wa" is a Japanese cultural concept translated into English as "harmony". It implies a peaceful unity and conformity within a social group in which members prefer community harmony over personal interests. It was intended as a rice bowl, but we can see its versatility in also serving as drinking vessel for a hearty serving of tea, matcha or matcha lattes. This is a modern take on more classical tea brewing vessels and you will still beed a strainer to keep the leaves out of your cup. We wholeheartedly recommend loose tea leaves and hot water when brewing. The teapot is glazed with an ecological glaze in green sage, and is dishwasher safe. This being a handmade product, dimensions and colors may slightly differ from one item to another.
