Small Chinese jewel teapot in artisanal copper
$210.00
A small teapot that shimmers like a Chinese jewel in handcrafted copper. It has been made and hammered in a traditional way, and yet its silhouette is oh so trendy! Its appearance of a little chick with warm reflections seduces us and touches us emotionally. We love how the craftsman dressed it up with sewing prints and staples. We also like the protective braiding of the handle, without forgetting the semi-precious stone button on the lid.
Copper remains a good material in the kitchen, our elders know it well, the younger ones will discover it and adopt it.
Copper is pure (at least 97%), the water will be softened by the effect of the ions released during boiling. Copper is not difficult to care for, just apply a mixture of vinegar and salt, scrub, rinse, dry. The interior may remain tarnished, this in no way influences the quality of the water. Note that copper is used in Ayurveda.
