Pure Silver .999 Teapot for Gong Fu Tea Brewing. Expertly crafted in Yunnan (Qujing County) this pure silver teapot combines function and beauty with an elegant flair. Crafted by Yunnan's most skilled silversmiths in Qujing county (a place with more than 1500 years history in smithing fine silver objects), this teapot will perfect your gong fu cha tea brewing experience! It is believed that silver provides the best possible medium for water and tea to meet. This is .999 silver, which is the highest grade purity possible. The teapot has been tested before sale to ensure a good lid fit and flow. Have you ever had your heart broken by dropping your favorite clay teapot? Not to worry, this teapot will never break even if you drop it! You'll be able to pass it down to your children!
The handle is a type of ebony hardwood that is cool to the touch and very durable! There can be a slight gap between where the handle meets the body of the teapot to prevent dry rot. This is intentional!
This is a hand-made item, there will be some cosmetic inconsistencies with this teapot, especially where the copper cladding interfaces with the silver and around the ornate "carvings" at the top of the teapot body.

* Please don't expect a perfect lid fit. This is not a clay teapot, so it may leak slightly from the lid at the beginning of the pour. We won't accept returns for that reason.
** While the teapot itself is pure silver, it is coated with copper, so it cannot be considered pure silver. As such, no certificate is available. If you must have a certificate, please do not order this teapot.
PLEASE NOTE: This item cannot be shipped by e-Packet. Please do not choose e-Packet at checkout if your order contains this item.
