The first teapots for brewing appeared around 500 years ago, born from the need to transition from powdered tea to whole leaves and unlock their full character. Over time, its form transcended its utilitarian roots to become a ritual—slowing time and bringing people together.

The teapot distills the brewing process to its essentials: water, leaves, and time—offering control over steeping and the amount brewed. Whether for one cup or many, it brings flexibility and a quiet pause, turning the act of tea into a more intentional moment of slowing down.

As a maker, I hold the teapot in high regard—quietly complex, deceptively simple. Every element must work in harmony: the spout’s arc, the weight in the hand, the soft fit of the lid. It asks for patience and offers stillness in return. A form I return to with care and curiosity.
