The Théière Gingko · 0.6 l from Mariage Frères is a cast iron teapot, made in the artisan iron foundries of Japan. Its body bears the ginkgo leaf motif in relief, finely cast into the metal, which its deep colours enhance. Three colours are offered on this page: black, red and blue.

Why a cast iron teapot?

Cast iron is a dense metal: the teapot feels pleasantly weighty in the hand and retains the heat of the infusion during service. Between everyday object and decorative piece, it is a teapot that is kept for a long time and passed down over the years.

What capacity?

The volume in its name, 0.6 l, refers to the exterior of the teapot and not its capacity: on cast iron teapots, the figure shown measures the object, not the quantity of tea poured. For precise information before ordering, contact our shops.
