Our happy on-line tea vendor (Adagio Tea) also sells a lot of teaware, and through them we’ve purchased some really nice stuff made by Jenaer Glas. In particular I have a nifty Zylindro Teapot that I keep at the office and which is sufficiently cool that at least two students ordered ones as well. And if memory serves New Kid and LDH have a teapot or two of theirs as well.
Sadly, Jenaer Glas is going out of business:
After more than a century of making the world’s finest glassware, the factory of Jenaer Glas is shutting its doors.
There is still time to brighten your day with the stunning design and intelligent functionality of these fine products. These expertly crafted products remain in limited supply, so please consider them before they are gone.
Sigh. They have a really nice sense of design, and it’s always sad to see something like that go out of the universe.
A manufacturer in Hungary is continuing production though. I just bought a Mikado teapot (which trendglas calls Miko).
Wonderful news – thanks for the tip! I really like the bits we’d bought from them and was quite nervous about the inevitable day when we’d break something.
