Arita-Imari Ceramic Teapot, 11.5 fl oz – Cat Miko Design

This Arita-Imari teapot is crafted in the Arita region of Japan, an area internationally recognized for a 400-year history of ceramic production. The piece features a traditional Cat Miko design and is designed primarily for daily use within Japan. With a capacity of 11.5 fl oz, this teapot serves as both a functional kitchen item and a piece of cultural craftsmanship. Each unit includes a stainless steel inner tea strainer to facilitate the preparation of loose-leaf tea.

Designed for serving, this ceramic teapot is not compatible with direct heat sources. It cannot be used on a gas stove or any other open flame. While the teapot is compatible with dishwasher cleaning, it is not suitable for use in a microwave. Users should handle the piece as a dedicated tea server rather than a heating vessel.

The teapot is shipped in a gift box, making it suitable for presentation. As a product of the Arita-Imari tradition, it represents the specific aesthetic and manufacturing standards of its region of origin. The inclusion of the stainless steel strainer ensures that the vessel is ready for immediate use upon arrival, providing a practical way to integrate traditional Japanese ceramic ware into a standard tea-serving routine.
