Made of ovenproof ceramic, it was originally designed for both brewing and keeping tea or coffee warm.

The teapot bears the form number 191/07, where "07" indicates a capacity of approximately 0.7 liters. The stamped "Foreign" on the base identifies it as an export model for international markets and makes it an interesting example of post-war German ceramic production.

Characteristic features include the harmoniously rounded shape, the ergonomic handle, and the elegantly curved spout. The glossy caramel to chestnut-brown glaze lends the surface depth and warmth and complements mid-century, Scandinavian, or wabi-sabi interiors beautifully.

with its understated design, this teapot can be used both as functional tableware and as a decorative object. It is suitable for tea or coffee, as well as for display in a collection of German studio ceramics or mid-century modern ware.
