The art of cast iron working was born in ancient China and the production of teapots is one of the finest achievements of this ancient technique.
The teapots, from the forms to the friezes are very diverse and they are the result of an almost exclusively hand-made handicraft workmanship. It starts with drawings, through clay molds and comes to life when casting in high-temperature furnaces.Most models contain a stainless steel filter for the infusion of the leaves. If you use the teapot to boil water, it is recommended that you remove the filter during boiling and use a flame spreader between the pot and the gas flame.
The cast iron used for our teapots is treated in such a way as to remove any impurities during the production process. The pots are then glazed inside in order to preserve the cast iron and to ensure its durability. The external coating is painted with certified ecological paints.
What do a zebra and a pink cockatoo have in common? When they appear in the idiosyncratic design of Yvonne Ellen's Zebra cocktail teapot, that's what. Appearing on a background of rose pink this traditionally shaped Cockatoo and Zebra Teapot is a total design departure.
Two of Yvonne Ellen's trademark birds - a bright as you please pink flamingo and a gold coloured cockatoo sporting an orange plume - combine on this Parrot and Flamingo tea for one set. Gold polka dots, on the white background and another Yvonne Ellen signature, the bumblebee on the saucer rim, make taking tea for one an absolute delight.
