Old Dutch cast-iron teapots combine traditional Japanese styling and a modern aesthetic that result in very evocative shapes. Holding 28 ounces, the Symmetry teapot forms a rustic square, flatter than the cube-shaped Harmony teapot, and is positioned on the diagonal so that the spout comes out a corner rather than a side. The Asian-style metal handle is squared as well, in contrast with the concentric rings and rounded knob on the lid. Symmetry's weathered-look finish comes in a choice of matte colors, unadorned, which along with the perfect heft lends quiet contemplation to the act of making tea.
Iron teapots traditionally used in Japan are known as tetsubin, which were used to boil water as well as brew tea. However, the Symmetry teapot is meant just for brewing, not for boiling on a stovetop. Old Dutch uses a specially purified cast iron for its teapots, and coats the insides with black enamel to help prevent rusting. Unlike ceramic teapots, the heavy cast iron retains heat wonderfully and won't chip. After use, the pot is best cared for when rinsed and dried by hand before storing. A stainless-steel infusing basket that hangs from the rim is included to facilitate brewing with loose tea leaves. --Ann Bieri
