Kettle 水壺

This is an iron kettle hung over the hearth.  Water boiled in this is very smooth. 
 Boiled water is ladled with a bamboo dipper. This type of dipper has been used at a tea ceremony.

This type of teapot is used commonly at home to serve green tea. 茶壺

  3. Hello Ivy Clad,
    The kettle is big and heavy. We can have peace of mind when we see the steam.

    Hello Things and Thoughts,
    This teapot is quite convenient for tea serving.
