The Japanese teapot is a beautiful blend of functionality and artistic craftsmanship. It typically has a handle for easy pouring and a spout to control the flow of tea. The lid fits snugly to prevent tea leaves from escaping while pouring.

These teapots are often made from various materials, with clay and ceramics being the most common choices. The porous nature of these materials helps retain the aroma and flavor of the tea, enhancing the overall tea-drinking experience.
