In Tibetan monasteries, ornate metal teapots and ewers were treasured objects. Monks used them to serve butter tea to the community and to make offerings, and they were often kept on or near the altar. Craftsmen decorated them with raised designs and set them with colorful stones as a sign of respect for the sacred spaces they served.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mt-4 first:mt-0\"\u003eThis piece has been used for an unknown length of time, and it shows. The deep purple-bronze finish has the soft, worn patina that comes only from years of handling. The long, graceful handle and curved spout give it a classic ewer shape, and the relief work and inset stones still catch the light. At about 11 cm (4.3 in) tall, it makes a striking, one-of-a-kind centerpiece for a tea room shelf, home altar, study or curio cabinet. It's a meaningful find for collectors of Himalayan metalwork and anyone drawn to objects with a real past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mt-4 first:mt-0\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"font-medium text-foreground\"\u003eProduct details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc space-y-0.5 mt-2 mb-5 [\u0026amp;_ul]:my-0 last:mb-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;li]:ml-4 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;li]:my-2 [\u0026amp;_ul\u0026gt;li]:ml-4 [\u0026amp;_ul\u0026gt;li]:my-1 [\u0026amp;_ul]:list-[circle] [\u0026amp;_ul_ul]:list-[square]\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"leading-relaxed\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"font-medium text-foreground\"\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e From a collection of Tibetan temple objects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"leading-relaxed\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"font-medium text-foreground\"\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Likely vintage, exact age unknown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"leading-relaxed\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"font-medium text-foreground\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-owned, good condition with natural wear and patina from use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"leading-relaxed\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"font-medium text-foreground\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal with aged purple-bronze (\u003cem\u003ezi tong\u003c\/em\u003e) finish, red lacquer accents and inset decorative stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"leading-relaxed\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"font-medium text-foreground\"\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Relief decoration with long handle and curved spout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"leading-relaxed\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"font-medium text-foreground\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 11 cm (4.3 in) tall × 18 cm (7.1 in) long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"leading-relaxed\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"font-medium text-foreground\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 1.19 kg (2.6 lb) including packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"leading-relaxed\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"font-medium text-foreground\"\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Decorative display only; not for food or drink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"leading-relaxed\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"font-medium text-foreground\"\u003ePackage includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × vintage teapot (one of a kind; the item pictured is the item you'll receive)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ae01.alicdn.com\/kf\/Sde11b1787f124a57887d2c78a22e7cfax.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ae01.alicdn.com\/kf\/Sf561049257a74c7a9083836887d7ae76Q.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ae01.alicdn.com\/kf\/S60f6b20b99d4470cb3b7a90269594e52G.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ae01.alicdn.com\/kf\/Sa852eaca888a41dc804898e51f57b384Z.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ae01.alicdn.com\/kf\/S352781e086904783b95b7838aa39a522Q.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ae01.alicdn.com\/kf\/Sfd307e7269194fedac480df48225e6feu.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ae01.alicdn.com\/kf\/S72d59c391abc40cb8546c25b93614ce1A.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ae01.alicdn.com\/kf\/S5893f5331a604dbda88f14555d753121I.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ae01.alicdn.com\/kf\/S633a72f0252343618dbcd7eb49470367H.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ae01.alicdn.com\/kf\/Se38f4bac76584b1a98bd3fa94ac69f80f.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ae01.alicdn.com\/kf\/Sd644de45dfe6426cb2c05471a94bbd255.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far East Finds","offers":[{"title":"Variant","offer_id":49043988021385,"sku":"12000057009479254","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/9257\/6137\/files\/3cb3fb48061e4d9da0a75fa7e682b7b7.webp?v=1794734043","url":"https:\/\/fareastfinds.com\/de\/products\/vintagtibetan-temple-purple-bronze-teapot-inlaid-stone-relief-long-handle","provider":"Far East Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
