Droog Design - Richard Hutten - Jar - Porcelain - Handle With Care Teapot

Richard Hutten Handle with Care Teapot
2014
Droog Design.
Porcelain with red plastic handle.
Dimensions: 21.5 × 20.4 × 13 cm
Capacity: 0.7/0.8 liters.
New! Unused. Limited edition. Only 1,000 were ever produced.

As part of the New Originals project, Hutten took a classic Chinese teapot and gave it a bold, modern twist.

The original was made of cast iron, but Hutten replaced it with sleek porcelain, making it lighter and fresher. Instead of the usual delicate curve of the handle, Richard Hutten borrowed the grip from a good vintage clothes iron.

In excellent, unused condition. Out of production and hard to find.
