Porcelain Teapot - Sea Urchin Theme
Porcelain Teapot - Sea Urchin Theme
We thought our customers would appreciate a beautifully executed, authentic white porcelain teapot design cast directly from an actual sea urchin, hand-crafted here in the USA, and affordably priced.
Sea Urchin Teapot Design Process
And as we began the porcelain teapot design process that took more than a year to complete, we fell in love with our Sea Urchin Teapot and are pleased to offer it to you . . . we think you’ll fall in love with it too!
The teapot's porcelain lid is cast directly from a sea urchin that we purchased from a retail “shell shop” on the southern Oregon coast. It has a safety catch that slips under the lip of the porcelain teapot body and securely fastens it during pours. With painstaking sculptural detail, we then mimicked the sea urchin’s distinctive natural bumps and pattern array onto the white porcelain teapot handle and spout, as well as extending the sea urchin design in a contemporary and modern sweep across the bottom sphere of the teapot’s 8 cup (64 ounce) body.
Porcelain Teapot : Engineered for Beauty and Interpretation
Tea pours without burble or drip from the particularly engineered spout opening. The natural insulating properties of porcelain help maintain either hot or cold fluids for longer than other materials, and the off-white glaze provides a warmth to our porcelain teapot presentation that we think you’ll enjoy.
The white porcelain Sea Urchin Teapot balances naturally as you take it by the handle, and with its 11″ widest portion to complement its 7″ height and 8″ circumference, you’ll find this porcelain teapot an eye-fetching beauty to add to your collection.
