Cast Iron Tea Pots Are Special But Inexpensive Gifts
Everybody is always searching for that one birthday, Christmas, or other holiday-type of gift which would be totally unique and memorable, something the “giftee” has never received or even thought about buying for personal use. One such item might be a Japanese cast iron tea pot, a beautiful and long-lasting piece of functional art that would contribute to the home as well as brew some very tasty tea. The cast iron tea pot is also a great conversation piece, since its invention goes back to ancient China where cast iron was first invented and used to create weaponry and religious effigies. In addition, this type of tea pot would also make a wonderful wedding present and potential heirloom the bride could pass on to her daughter.
The Japanese “tetsubin” is perhaps the most well-known cast iron tea pot being sold online today and in select stores around the country. Because this tea pot exhibits such a wide variety of aesthetically pleasing designs and hues, there are many enthusiastic collectors who have an extensive collection of both antique and modern “tetsubins”. You can either purchase one cast iron tea pot at a time or buy them in sets of three, four, or five. Newer, individual pieces can cost around $25, while an entire set may be valued at over one hundred dollars.
The process in making cast iron is not a quick process, which contributes to the cost of the item.
Starting with pig iron, which as to be re-melted, the manufacturers then have to mix scrap iron and small amounts of steel in with the melted pig iron, which is then poured into a mold for the tea pot. The cooling process is what gives the cast iron tea pot its fine quality as a tea brewing implement because if it is not uniformly cooled, the tea pot will have a rough surface and visibly imperfect cast. Contamination is another problem occurring in the process, such as porosity or flaws in the metal, which can produce a defective product. The ability to properly mix cast iron and fashion a beautiful cast iron tea pot is something that is learned only by practice and experience. Sizes of each tea pot can vary from small to a large pot which can contain over twenty ounces.
Cast iron tea pots convey to people how you are willing to exert effort to get a gift that is suitable for them. And that is part of the magic of giving cast iron tea pots. You can buy a single tea pot or a set of tea ware including the saucers and the cups. If you have a budget of around $25 to a little over a hundred dollars, you can easily find the right ones for the person you are gifting. That is because the imaginativeness of the crafters is practically endless. If you will bother to view those which are showcased on the internet, you cannot fail to be delighted by the distinctiveness and beauty of each style. Get cast iron tea pots that have been glazed with porcelain. They are easier to take care of. You will find them embossed with bamboo plants, geometrical shapes, dainty flowers and even fierce dragons. Although you might find a store to purchase a cast iron tea pot in your area, it would be much easier to locate the cast iron tea pot you want on the internet. By shopping online at tea pot stores on the internet, you will be able to choose from a variety of reasonably priced cast iron tea pots that are decorated with many different colors and details, from delicate flowers to Japanese inscriptions, to vividly drawn dragons.
Add Asian style to your tea time with a cast iron tea pots, glass teapots, or yixing teapots that's both functional and decorative.
