The Modern Tea Pot

This is the teapot that melds form and function with an architectural shape that reveals the beauty and movement of tea leaves as they steep. Designed in California by acclaimed industrial designer Joey Roth, this modernist reimagining of a centuries-old vessel has a cylindrical body made of heatproof borosilicate glass, an arcing steel handle, and a built-in strainer. The pot sits horizontally on a table or counter, its body suspended in mid-air. This unique design lets drinkers watch the tea bloom and billow in the liquid and determine when the brew has reached the desired strength. When tea is served, the leaves are caught by the strainer tucked behind the large spout. The handle stays cool to the touch, and the pot’s uncoated stainless steel body, formed in a traditional lost-wax molding process, will acquire a patina over time to document years of loving use. 11 oz. capacity. 5 3/4" H x 5" W x 8 1/4" L.
