clay teapot
Terracotta tea vessel
A clay teapot is a vessel for brewing tea, made from unglazed or partially glazed clay rather than porcelain or metal.
Clay teapots—particularly Chinese Yixing pots—are prized because the porous material absorbs tea oils over time, seasoning the pot and enhancing flavor with repeated use: She never washes her clay teapot with soap.
