Marimekko Oiva Tea Pot
Best stylish centerpiece for design conscious tea enthusiasts.
This is a rare piece of functional art that actually works as well as it looks. The integrated strainer makes brewing loose-leaf tea effortless, though the delicate wood handle means you'll need to hand-wash it carefully to keep it looking pristine.
