This cat-iron teapot is bright purple with a modern chrysanthemum motif design. Purple has long been revered in Japan as a noble color. Chrysanthemums also have the same noble connotation.
In Japanese culture, the chrysanthemum flower has great cultural significance. It has been used as a symbol of the Japanese imperial family for centuries, on the covers of Japanese passports, and as a decorative motif in traditional Japanese art, often on tableware and kimonos.
It has a capacity of 650 ml (22 fl oz), 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 well-made cast-iron 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.

Purple
Purple exists at the intersection of blue and red. As a powerful color, it evokes feelings of high class, prestige and strength. It is well-suited for decoration and can enhance the refined atmosphere, giving it an overall sophisticated and elegant ambiance.
For centuries, purple has represented nobility and elegance in Japan. Prince Shotoku, also known as Prince Umayado, established the system of twelve court ranks. Among them, deep purple represents the highest rank.
