Bee House makes other beautiful teapots, too. Like this larger, a bit
more European style tea pot:

....or this fine kyusu:

Besides, they also make some nice tea cups, and many kind of kitchen
containers for sugar, tea, pasta, cream and the likes.

I have two white Bee House pots like the one Tee has, and I am very
happy with them: they are both nice and handy. I use them for green
tea. I infuse the tea in the larger one (6 dl), and pour the ready
infusion to the smaller one (4 dl). (The small difference in the sizes
has only one practical importance for me: this way I can tell the
difference between the infusing and the serving pot without lifting
the lid... :-))
