Silver Round Teapot

Masanobu Ando

• Introduction

  I am a Silver Round Teapot. I may have a cold metal handle, but I have a warm ceramic heart.

   

• Curator's Notes 

   

  The hammered handle and sculptural lid of this teapot bring it close to the realm of decorative sculpture, without ever sacrificing its beautiful functionality. It's dripless spout and interior strainer show the emphasis Masanobu Ando puts on usability in his teaware. Most importantly, this teapot can be safely used atop any open flame or tea warmer.
