Ceramic teapot, 'Turtle'
Ceramic teapot, 'Turtle'
Crawling toward the ocean on tiny flippers, a baby sea turtle pauses to glance skyward before submerging itself in the Balinese surf. The minuscule creature lends a poignant charm to the voluptuous contours of this handcrafted teapot. An original design by Putu Oka Mahendra, its deep blue-green color is inspired by the cool rainforest and complemented by a handle of rattan.

The tea brewer is unique in that in can brew tea in two different ways. You can allow the tea leaves to float freely in the water and then the filter retains the leaves when you pour your tea into the mouth-blown glass tumblers. Alternatively, you can put the tea leaves in the filter and once the tea has brewed for long enough, fully depress the plunger.
This electric kettle, which looks like a traditional stovetop kettle, offers the convenience of a detachable base so you can heat your hot water anywhere there's an outlet. The three-level safety system ensures the unit automatically shuts off when water begins to boil, when the kettle is lifted from the base or when the kettle is empty. A concealed element heats water in minutes; a removable water filter eliminates impurities and deposits.
