Punmu Waterholes Bone China Teapot | Meaningful Gift for Tea Lovers

This fine bone china teapot carries a detail from Punmu Waterholes by Martu artist Marianne Burton. Its warm desert colours are made for quiet moments and slow afternoons. At 500 ml, it holds enough for one unhurried pot, or two cups when you have company. A built-in strainer makes loose-leaf tea simple. Royalties from every sale go directly to the artist.

The design reproduces a detail from Punmu Waterholes, a painting by Marianne Burton. It is reproduced under licence, courtesy of Martumili Artists. Marianne paints the rockholes and springs around Punmu, the remote desert community in Western Australia where she has lived since her early teens. She learned to paint by sitting with her father, senior Martu artist Pukina Burton, while he told stories about his Country. She has spoken of being inspired by the colours of morning and sunset, and by the view of Country from above. Fine bone china gives the artwork a smooth, luminous surface that rewards a closer look.

Information about the artist and artwork comes with every teapot, so whoever receives it knows whose Country and whose story they are pouring from. Royalties from each sale go directly to Marianne Burton and Martumili Artists. It makes a considered gift for tea lovers, art lovers and anyone who deserves an afternoon to themselves.
