This listing is a pre-order for the teapot style below. Since each teapot is handmade, a variation in hammering of silver, tarnish pattern, etc. may be apparent from teapot to teapot. The teapot may vary slightly from the photos below in this regard.
Volume: Approximately 110ml with lid on.
Silver purity: 99.9% (999)
Weight of silver used in construction: Approximately 105g
Each teapot is unique and handmade. Photos are of actual teapot, only 1 available.
A functional piece of art and future heirloom, these teapots are crafted and hammered by hand by experienced silversmiths in their workshop in Yunnan, China
The teapots are made using National Standard Certified 9999 Silver or 99.99% pure (see photo below showing the government issued certificate of silver purity which is included). After the silversmith has melted and shaped the teapot, the silver is guaranteed to be not less than 99.9% pure silver. 999 is the highest market standard for a silver teapot.
Taste is subjective, but we have found silver teapots bring out a softer, smoother quality in the tea that is brewed.
Although we have tested the lid fit and pour and found both to be excellent, there may be slight leaking from the edges of the lid depending on how the teapot is handled and as a result of each teapot being handmade. We will not accept returns for this reason.
This teapot will be shipped with Express Shipping, either EMS or Private Carrier depending on shipping address.
