A classic teapot made by Marimekko, a Finnish tableware maker. The teapot mold is called Oiva and was designed by Finnish designer Sami Ruotsalainen. Originally a glass artist, Ruotsalainen is currently in charge of designing tableware for brands such as Iittala, ARABIA and Marimekko.
black dot pattern design It was created by an up-and-coming designer named Maija Roekkali. Based on the Räsymatto pattern, which means "tattered cloth" designed by Roekkali , the pattern design is newly named Siirtolapuutarha with changes in coarseness and fineness.
Siltraputalha means "kitchen garden" in Finnish. The black dots expressed in a somewhat zig-zag pattern represent a landscape in which seeds have been sown, representing the linear and square vegetable gardens that can be seen in the corners of towns.
The teapot itself weighs about 1kg, but the smooth curved wooden handle makes it easy to handle, and the 700ml capacity is suitable for tea parties with multiple people or for making coffee ahead of time. The strainer (tea strainer) is designed with a wide mouth so that the tea leaves can fully open when steamed. You can also use it by submerging a teapot inside.
*This product has a wooden handle, so it cannot be used in microwave ovens, open flames, or dishwashers.
