This Wood Fired Crude Pottery Rusty Charm Charcoal Stove and Kettle Set is a captivating fusion of rustic craftsmanship and functional tea art.

Material and Craftsmanship
• Kettle: The kettle is crafted from natural, high-temperature-fired crude pottery (粗陶), giving it a robust, rustic character with a rich, textured surface. The exterior is decorated with hand-carved designs and calligraphy, adding an artistic, vintage feel to its natural simplicity. The kettle’s handle is wrapped in natural vine, handwoven to offer both an elegant look and a comfortable grip.
• Charcoal Stove: Made from natural crude clay, the charcoal stove has been carefully molded and fired at high temperatures. Its surface retains the raw textures and layered details of aged wood, embodying a sense of earthiness and tradition. This tactile texture not only adds to its visual appeal but also ensures the stove blends beautifully with any natural or rustic tea setup.

Design and Dimensions
• Kettle Dimensions: With a height of 14 cm and a width of 15 cm, the kettle is compact yet spacious enough for several servings of tea. Its broad body allows for efficient heating and flavor extraction.
• Charcoal Stove Dimensions: Measuring 16.5 cm in width and 12 cm in height, the stove provides a stable base for the kettle. The design incorporates a large opening for easy access to the charcoal, ensuring optimal airflow for steady, controlled burning.

Functional Features
1. Handmade Details: Every element of this set is handcrafted, reflecting the artistry and expertise of traditional potters. The kettle’s hand-carved calligraphy and textured clay surface give it an antique charm, making it both functional and a piece of art.
2. Vine Handle: The vine-wrapped handle provides a natural and comfortable grip, carefully woven by hand to balance beauty and functionality. This handle insulates heat, allowing you to handle the kettle comfortably even when it’s hot.
3. Enhanced Airflow for Efficient Combustion: The stove is designed with a large opening and sufficient ventilation, promoting efficient charcoal burning. This steady heat release is perfect for tea brewing, ensuring the water temperature remains consistent without overheating.

Usage and Care Instructions
1. Initial Preparation for Boiling Water:
◦ Fill the kettle about halfway with clean water. After bringing it to a boil, discard the water, refill with fresh water, and add a small amount of rice or glutinous rice. Boil for about an hour (be cautious to avoid burning the rice), then discard the contents and rinse. Let the kettle sit overnight, and rinse it again the next day. Finally, use clean water to boil and rinse twice before regular use.
2. Initial Preparation for Brewing Tea:
◦ For the first use, fill the kettle with cool water and bring it to a boil to cleanse the interior. Afterward, it is ready for regular tea brewing.
3. Other Precautions:
◦ This kettle can handle dry heating (heating without water), but it’s best to avoid extreme temperature fluctuations. When you finish using it, leave a small amount of water inside to accommodate the clay’s natural porosity, which helps maintain the structure. After each tea session, drain any excess water to prevent moisture buildup in the bottom of the kettle the following day.
◦ Note: During the first few uses, you might notice some condensation on the kettle’s surface. This is normal and will subside after a few uses.

The Tea Brewing Experience
Using this charcoal stove and crude pottery kettle set brings a unique, immersive tea experience. The warmth of the charcoal fire and the earthy aroma of crude pottery create a cozy, nostalgic ambiance, making the tea brewing process feel timeless and grounding. The kettle’s wide shape and slow, steady heating allow the tea leaves to unfold fully, releasing their depth and fragrance in a way that is distinct to this traditional method.
