Arare refers to the dotted patterns decorating these teapots. Japan has an ancient tradition of cast-iron teapot craftsmanship; over time styles evolved, but Arare remains one of the most faithful to the originals. This model features a modern reinterpretation of the pattern.

Cast iron (95% iron plus brass, carbon, silica) makes the most durable teapots, and their mass retains heat very well.

Can cast-iron teapots be heated on a stove?

Yes, cast iron is resistant, but for longevity we recommend avoiding direct heat to protect the enamel. A flame-diffuser may be used, though long-term heating may still damage the enamel. After each use, rinse with water and dry the interior with a cloth to avoid moisture and potential rust.
