Have a finely executed 23 oz. cast iron Tetsubin style teapot - elegantly textured green tone with the black porcelain interior, fine mesh stainless steel infuser/strainer, the fitted peg handle lid, and elegant loop swivel handle. It’s cast with an unusual vine and seed motif winding around the top in the traditional Japanese tetsubin style except adding the modern safe porcelain interior. The heavy cast iron retains heat and keeps tea at serving temperature for that second cup.

The pot is 5 in. wide by 2 ¼ deep to lip, 5 in. tall with handle, lid is 2 ½ wide.
The six elegant tea cups are individually colored with a complementary spotted rim color and are filled by a half measuring cup. The cast iron trivet sits on three legs and is covered by a sun flower seed spiral pattern.
