A task as simple as boiling tea deserves a vessel that is equally as fundamental and classic. Marimekko’s White Oiva Teapot is an efficient and elegant way to brew tea tableside.

The rounded square shape, stout spout, pale rubberwood handle and knob are all sleek and smart features that set it apart.

I love the design. The glaze is great and the foot very smooth. Just must be very careful of the wood knob on the lid and the wooden handle. Be certain they are dry after washing. The use of Olive Oil is suggest if they start to wear of=ver time.

Love my Merimeko teapot! As always their quality is topnotch and their design flawless. FinnStyle gets 5 stars: I received my teapot in a timely manner, it was very carefully wrapped and, best of all, they use bio degradable packing peanuts. What’s not to love about an evironment friendly company that sells beautiful products?

This would be beautiful in a modern or traditional style kitchen. It's my second one - I wanted one in both houses!

I'm truly pleased with this teapot. Everything is great about it - right size, smart design, beautiful look. Purchasing from Finnstyle was a good experience too. Prompt delivery, proper packaging. If you love the cosy Scandi things as much as I do, than Finnstyle is a great source.

I like this combination of porcelain and wood. It matches Iittala Teema series very much. This teapot comes with a matching porcelain strainer. It works okay and convenient. I bought a stainless strainer (87mm one) to catch tiny loose tea leaves.
