Teapot - Issen M266

Why is the handle shaped like that?

The unique Japanese-style side handle allows easy, controlled pouring and requires minimal wrist movement. This is especially useful when pouring sencha (green tea) in smaller amounts to multiple people. 

This teapot comes with a built-in infuser for easy brewing and washing! 

Originating from Mino in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, Mino-ware is the most popular style in Japan, accounting for 60% of the country's ceramics. Mino-yaki is valued for its beauty and durability, making it popular for everyday use and, of course, special occasions.
