This is a pot from the Swedish ceramics manufacturer Höganäs Keramik. I purchased it about 15 years ago at a shopping mall in Sweden. I'm selling it because I haven't used it very often. There are no chips or cracks in the ceramic. The wooden lid has grooves along the grain due to aging. This item does not come with a strainer for filtering tea leaves. When I purchased it, a strainer was not included as standard, nor was it an option, as far as I remember. You may want to purchase a general-purpose strainer of a suitable size separately. By purchasing this item, you are deemed to have agreed to the requests and notices stated in my profile.
