"Houjyu Arare" - 60 ounces The name of this glorious black design roughly means "Treasure Ball with Snow". A Japanese treasure ball is associated with luck and simply touching the ball brings good fortune. One very old tradition uses a treasure ball competition as a symbol of the coming year's prosperity. The body of the teapot is covered with 'snow', or large hobnails, with a cast iron treasure ball perched on the lid. The fabulous handle (which does not fold down) is highly unique. Rather than the standard rounded design, it is flattened and embossed with a random multi-circle pattern then finished with seven holes along the outer edge. Artisan Tetsubin teapots do not have porcelain linings. As you brew your favorite teas, a natural build up of tea residue will coat the interior creating a desirable patina which will also protect the teapot from rust. It is recommended to allow the teapot to fully air dry after each use. Each artisan teapot is embossed with the artist's chop mark. - From the Iwachu Casting Works $340.00 Add

"Chairo Yuzu" - 74 ounces This vibrant design is warmly hued with burnt reds, harvest tones and cocoa brown. The name has a rough meaning of "Light Brown Citrus Fruit" and looks very much like a persimmon. The reddish brown body is washed with an autumnal glow which highlights the citrus peel texture and provides an exciting backdrop for the two large leaves draped across the top. A sleek, brown handle (which does not fold down) completes the piece. Artisan Tetsubin teapots do not have porcelain linings.
