BARDO TEA Teapot

Pewter is a soft, reactive metal that can be damaged or permanently discolored by the harsh chemicals found in modern dish soaps. To preserve the integrity of the hand-hammered finish and the historical patina, we recommend rinsing it with warm water and drying it immediately with a soft cloth.

The permanent mesh filter is integrated directly into the teapot to handle standard loose-leaf varieties effectively. While it is excellent for traditional whole-leaf teas, very fine dust or fannings may occasionally pass through the mesh.

Yes, this teapot is crafted from food-safe pewter designed specifically for tea service. It is intended for brewing and serving hot tea, though it should not be placed directly on a stovetop or open flame.

Kamon are traditional Japanese emblems used to identify families or lineages. Their presence on this piece indicates its mid-20th-century heritage and adds a layer of historical authenticity to the craftsmanship.

The collapsible handle is designed for both aesthetic minimalism and practical storage. It folds down to save space in your cupboard, yet it remains sturdy and balanced when lifted for pouring.

Pewter is a neutral material that does not impart metallic flavors into your brew. It is highly valued in traditional tea ceremonies for its ability to maintain heat and provide a clean, untainted taste profile.
