"Sho-chiku-bai" - 24 ounces (~ 4 cups)

The name of this uniquely stunning design means "Pine, Bamboo & Plum" which are considered traditional symbols of happiness often associated with celabratory occasions.  The details are superior and endlessly beautiful.  From the perfect plum blossoms on one side to the pine branch tips and bamboo leaves on the other, this teapot almost sings.  The distinctive features don't stop there.  With the addition of three little feet, a long uniquely elegant spout and a surprisingly sturdy and beautiful handle (which does not fold down)....every aspect is perfection.  All cast iron teapots include a fitted fine mesh tea strainer.

"Tsuru"
- 17 ounces (~ 2-3 cups)

Two majestic cranes, or 'tsuru', decorate one side of this silver washed Tetsubin. They glide to the top of a blossoming plum tree which is elegantly depicted on the other side.  Cranes have long symbolized longevity in Japan and are often used to decorate gifts for birth, marriage and annual events.  Plum trees are also associated with long life, because they bloom in winter, as well as 'new beginnings'.  All cast iron teapots include a fitted fine mesh tea strainer.
