The teapot with its lid is part of the Teema dishes series by Kaj Franck and Iittala. It presents itself in a timeless original design out of the year 1952 and can be combined with every tea or coffee cup without any problems.

Simple elegance and versatility are the characteristics that make Kaj Franck’s Teema to one of the most desired services in Scandinavia, and that also characterize the teapot. It renounces decoration and ornaments and it is exceptionally reduced to the essential. Sphere, square and rectangle are the basic forms that have already fascinated the ancient Greeks and that also were fascinating to Kaj Franck so that he made it a theme for Teema.

Kaj Franck initially designed the Teema teapot to serve coffee. Despite the development of this pot with a capacity of 1 liter to a teapot, it is still ideally adapted to serve coffee or other hot drinks. That is how the pot with lid closes a gasp in the Teema collection from Iittala and allows the serving of hot drinks in the beloved Teema design.
