Olive-white Cylinder Teapot # 96128

The cylinder teapot presents a softly rounded, upright body with a broad base, short spout and large loop handle. Its pale lower half and olive-toned upper glaze create a calm gradient, while the fitted lid keeps leaves contained during pouring.

Chinese teapots are made for steeping loose leaves and decanting the infusion at the table, from everyday brewing to gongfu preparation. This straightforward covered form is easy to place among cups and other serving ware during a tea session.

Made in China, its light ceramic body shows an olive-white glaze that deepens towards the shoulder and leaves a subtle darker line at the foot. The smooth surface suits regular use. Rinse away leaves after brewing, dry the lid separately and store uncapped.
