About

In 2014, we partnered with Royal Crown Derby, masters of fine bone china, to solve a century-old challenge: designing a teapot that effortlessly makes the perfect cup of tea.

For centuries, the time-honored formula of bone ash, china stone, and china clay has defined the highest quality bone china. Since 1750, Royal Crown Derby has refined this craft even further, incorporating 50% bone ash—a meticulous enhancement that results in their signature whiter-than-white translucency and exceptional strength.

This durability ensures that our co-designed teapot not only exudes elegance but also withstands daily use far better than hard-paste porcelain or earthenware, preserving both its beauty and function for years to come.

WE PURSUED THE BASIC WHITE T-POT PROJECT WITH A SIMPLE GOAL:
DESIGN A TIMELESS ESSENTIAL THAT WOULD MAKE THE PERFECT CUP OF TEA.
Inspired by the luxury basic white t-shirt, "The Basic White T-pot" revisits the iconic shape of a tea time essential, using the highest quality materials and elegant design.

"It's good enough," people said. "They're just teapots."
Frustrated with the status quo, we ignored them.
THE BASIC WHITE T-POT IS:
A STANCE AGAINST THOSE THAT "DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USED TO" AND DEMOLISHES THE 100-YEAR-OLD PROBLEM OF OVER-STEEPED, BITTER TEA.
We were inspired by the innovators, craftsmen,
and doers around us with strong beliefs, relentless hard work,
and the undying pursuit of perfection.
PERFECTION COMES IN STEPS.
AND TO US, IT'S WORTH EVERY SHOT.

RAISED INFUSER

A LIFE LESS BITTER (IS A BETTER LIFE)

One inch makes all the difference for a perfect infusion. After your first pour of tea, the waterline will sit just below the infuser. Extraction stops, precisely. No over-steeping of the second cup. No bitter tannins. Perfection.
