A small, rounded Japanese teapot with a left-handed side handle.
Made by Hakusan Porcelain in Hasami, Nagasaki, MARUCO is a smaller companion to the SAWA teapot. Its name refers to its small, round form, reflected in the body, lid and handle.
A compact pot for one or two people
It holds approximately 280 ml when filled to the brim. The amount you brew will be less, allowing space for the leaves and pouring. This is a compact size for one or two people. Choose glossy white porcelain or pale blue-white glaze. The simple shape works with Japanese tableware or a more mixed everyday table.
Choose your strainer
A fixed ceramic strainer is built into the spout. If you use fine tea leaves, add the MARUCO stainless-steel strainer, sold separately. Matching MARUCO teacups are also available. For a larger pot, choose SAWA, 400 ml.
Care and handling
The porcelain pot is dishwasher and microwave safe. Remove the optional stainless-steel strainer before microwaving. Hand washing is recommended to protect the spout, lid and built-in ceramic strainer.
The handle has a small manufacturing air hole. Water can enter it during dishwashing or soaking; drain the handle thoroughly before use.
Do not use on a stovetop or induction hob. Ceramic ware can chip or break if knocked, dropped or exposed to sudden changes in temperature. Stop using it if it is cracked or chipped. The body can become hot when filled with hot liquid.
