🚫 Not suitable for stovetop use - use for steaming tea or as a decorative piece
The teapot is slip-casted by hand, then dried, bisque-fired, painted, glazed, and fired for a second time. It is entirely handmade - from the preparation of the clay to the removal from the kiln. The drawing is handpainted with underglaze paints, then the pot is covered with transparent glaze. It is one of its kind as the shape and drawing will not be repeated on another pot. The handle is wheel thrown and then formed into shape. The upper part of the handle is hollow. The teapot pours very well and does not drip.
Measuring:
* The "cube" is 4.6 inches / 12 cm wide and deep. The spout adds another 2.4 in / 6 cm to the width, and makes it 7 in / 18 cm.
* 9.2 in / 24 cm high
* Capacity - 40 fl. oz. / 1200 ml.
🚫 Important Note: It's crucial to avoid using this teapot over direct heat from a stovetop range. Ceramic items, including stoneware, respond to heat by expanding, although this is not visible to the naked eye. When heated from the bottom, they expand unevenly, causing stress in the crystal structure and, ultimately, the potential for breakage. Ceramic items are heat-resistant when heated slowly and evenly, such as in an oven. Your teapot, with its versatile design, can be employed for steaming tea by placing tea leaves or teabags inside and adding hot water. Alternatively, it can serve as an elegant and decorative centerpiece in your kitchen, living room, or garden, enhancing the ambiance of your space while exuding a touch of artistic charm.

GLAZING:
Post-bisque firing, the enchanting dance of glazing commences. A harmonious blend of ground glass, clays, coloring materials, and water forms the glaze, artfully applied to the bisque pot. Whether through dipping, pouring, spraying, brushing, sponging, or a delightful combination of these techniques, each imparts a distinctive touch. Carefully avoiding the footring, each piece finds its place on a bisque-fired 'cookie' crafted from resilient stoneware clay. Now, adorned with the promise of transformation, the pot eagerly awaits its glaze firing.

Privacy policy
This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.
INFORMATION I COLLECT
To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorised Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.
WHY I NEED YOU INFORMATION AND HOW I USE IT
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
• as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
• when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
• if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
• as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE
Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
• Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
• Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
• Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for up to four years.
TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE EU
I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:

In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
• Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
