Description

This teapot is designed to look like a butterfly fluttering in the sky. The expressive teapot is made by baking the base color and then spraying the vibrant color on top.

Butterflies have long been a symbol in Japan and are associated with a variety of meanings. In particular, it is regarded as a symbol of change and transformation. It is also associated with the concept of impermanence, which is fundamental to Japanese culture and philosophy.

It has a capacity of 650 ml, which is enough for a generous cup of tea. The inside of the teapot is enameled to prevent rusting even after daily casual use. It comes with a stainless steel strainer on the inside. The handle can be folded down.

The charm of Nambu ironware is that it can be used for decades, sometimes for generations. Please use it in your daily life and enjoy the changes it undergoes over time.

Blue

As a cool color, blue evokes feelings of calm, nobility, coolness, and tranquility. It is highly suitable for use in a variety of items, from everyday to celebratory.

Blue is featured prominently across Japanese art: for example, in Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave of Kanagawa. Shades like mizu iro, a pale aqua that literally means "water color," have been used frequently for summer kimonos since the Edo period (1603 CE–1868 CE). Meanwhile kon, or navy blue, conveys a sense of calm and sophistication and has historically been widely used in daily life. Finally, sometsuke refers to blue and white ceramics, a classic color pairing that is always in style.
