Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Iceberg Teapot handcrafted using traditional methods?
Yes, this teapot is handcrafted by skilled artisans using traditional Jianzhan techniques. Each piece is shaped by hand and fired at high temperatures, ensuring authenticity and a unique character.
What makes the icy white and pale blue glaze so unique?
The glaze features natural oil-spot and crystalline ice textures that form during firing due to the iron-rich clay and precise kiln conditions. This means every Iceberg Teapot is one-of-a-kind, with no two pieces exactly alike.
Which types of tea work best in this gongfu teapot?
This teapot is versatile and ideal for all loose leaf teas, including oolong, puerh, black tea, green tea, and white tea. Its heat retention and glaze enhance the flavor profile of each tea during gongfu ceremonies.
Is the Iceberg Teapot food-safe and durable for daily use?

Hand-Finished Ceramic Character
Tenmokus teaware is selected for visible glaze variation, hand-finished character, and forms that can work for tea drinking, display, collecting, and gifting. Because kiln effects and glaze movement can vary, each piece may show differences in pattern, color depth, and surface detail.
Jianzhan Tenmoku Glaze Style
Jianzhan Tenmoku teaware is known for dark ceramic surfaces, iron-rich glaze character, and kiln-influenced visual patterns such as spots, streaks, and color depth. Choose a piece by its form, rim shape, capacity, glaze pattern, and whether you want it mainly for daily tea use, display, or gifting.
Gift-Ready Teaware
Tenmokus pieces can work as gifts for tea drinkers, ceramic collectors, housewarming occasions, birthdays, holidays, and personal tea rituals. When choosing a gift, compare the recipient's preferred drink, hand feel, cup size, glaze style, and whether the piece should be practical for daily use or more display-focused.
Use and Care Notes
Use Jianzhan Tenmoku teaware for tea sessions, quiet daily rituals, display, and gifting. Rinse by hand with warm water, avoid abrasive cleaners, and let the piece dry fully before storing. Avoid microwave use, direct stove heat, sudden temperature shock, and any care method not listed on the product page.
