This piece is handmade in Vietnam, designed by Kinta and 'fair trade'. It is functional piece made from stoneware in a modern design, with a gloss finish body and contrasting  matt finish lid. The Teapot is made in a pottery in Hanoi, run by the eighth generation of the family. The ceramist uses local resources and mixes the colours himself. They are baked at high temperatures which make them dishwasher and microwave safe. The lip on the lid should point towards the handle.
