AGOBAY Showroom ZurichEach teapot is a handmade piece with slight differences in colour, shape and size as a result of the process. The teapots are unglazed and fired at extremely high temperatures in the traditional Japanese yakishime ceramic technique, which gives these pieces their soft, earthy brown tone.

Before first use, immerse the teapot in water and boil it for 30 minutes. Please also check the base of your item. If you feel any roughness to the touch, we recommend using a tablecloth or mat underneath to avoid damaging your surfaces. You could also polish it with extra-fine sandpaper or rub it in a circular motion against the base of an identical item to smooth.
Taking care of your teapot includes avoiding stacking it with other objects to prevent scratches or cracks. Use spoons and other hard utensils with extra care to avoid striking or scraping.
After use, hand wash it carefully with a soft sponge and dry thoroughly. Do not wash it with any cleansing agents and avoid using abrasive sponges, dishwashers or drying machines.
It must not be directly exposed to temperature shocks – whether from a flame, conventional oven, microwave, induction cooktop, freezer, refrigerator or other source of heat of cold. Avoid any shocks or friction.
The teapot may change colour slightly, depending on the content of the liquid absorbed, giving each piece an individual charm. If you notice any cracks, chips or deep scrapes, please stop using it, as these can cause the item to break at any time.
As our objects are crafted in small batches and often made-to-order by our artisans, we regretfully do not accept any returns.
