Saint-Louis Apollo Tea Pouring Pot – French crystal tea pouring pot
The Saint-Louis Apollo Tea Pouring Pot is a crystal tea pouring pot by Cristallerie Saint-Louis, the French crystal manufacture founded in 1586 in Saint-Louis-lès-Bitche, in the Moselle region of France, where its crystal is still mouth-blown and hand-cut.
The pouring pot was inspired by Asian rituals such as "gong fu cha" in China, or the "sencha dô in Japan. Upon the infusion, the liquid is then poured from the teapot into the pouring pot to end infusion. The pouring pot can also be used as creamer to serve milk. Porcelain from the Apollo Tea collection is handcrafted by masters of white porcelain using traditional expertise at a French manufacturer in Limoges founded in 1825. Saint-Louis selected unglazed bisque porcelain — the finest there is. This matte finish is more rare, and ultra-fine, with an especially delicate texture. To avoid tea deposits, use low mineral water for the infusion and rinse well after use. Drinking tea in crystal is a wise choice. Crystal enhances the beauty of tea, a liquid that is often sipped from ceramic drinkware, but deserves to have its color revealed.
Saint-Louis crystal for tea and coffee is a thoughtful gift for tea lovers and connoisseurs.
