Teapot with celadon glaze, made by Korean ceramicist Mr Lee

Ceramicist Mr Lee Myong-gun trained at 'Habinyo Ceramic Studio'. Since 1990, Mr Lee has continued to produce testel using the traditional wood-fired kiln method. Mr Lee is also part of a research group that is reproducing some of the first known celadon ceramics in Korean history.

Historical note:
In Korea, Celadon (blue porcelain) was produced from the Goryeo Dynasty (11-12 century AD) and loved by people all over East Asia with its beautiful celadon green colour. As a tea artist who loves to drink tea, Mr Lee has been enthusiastically concentrating on the reproduction of this cultural heritage in the traditional way for the past 10 years.

The teapot is ideal for brewing green, yellow and oolong teas as well as Pu Erh tea, where numerous extracts are made from the same leaves. The teapot is a collector's item as it is very difficult to produce and is therefore only made in limited numbers. The teapot holds 135 ml.
