This teapot features silver wire inlay hand-shaped to form the intricate gourd design, and is decorated with gourd-shaped jade, as well as a piece of jade on the top of the lid.
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.
