We are very happy to have these teapots back in stock. They were standard equipment at the tea bar when we opened in 2012.
Being glazed, they are very convenient to brew a wide variety of teas. The volume is also ideal for 1-2 people drinking tea.

Alberto and Adriana Díaz de Cossío (father and daughter) are local legends among Mexico's community of ceramic artists. They lead Mexico City's Experimental Ceramics Workshop (Taller Experimental de Cerámica) in Coyoacán.
Throughout Adriana's childhood, the family hosted a number of Japanese artists who interned at the workshop; they have also travelled throughout Asia. At the same time, the family was an avid learner of pre-Hispanic culture, travelling also extensively throughout Mexico.
As a result, they create ceramics that are rooted in pre-Hispanic traditions yet have significant Asian influence. You may see stone-ware created at this workshop in some of the best restaurants in Latin America.
Each piece is unique.
