The dragons forming the handle and spout act as fierce, protective guardians of the vessel's contents. To achieve this vibrant aesthetic, artisans employ a technique akin to heavy cloisonné, painstakingly building up raised brass borders to hold hundreds of individually cut semi-precious stones. This traditional Tibetan style brassware preserves ancient methods of adding permanent, vivid color to enduring metal without relying on fragile modern paints.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eStyling Notes \u0026amp; Home Placement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003ePosition this jeweled brass teapot for coffee table display upon a mirrored tray, allowing ambient light to catch the vibrant red and blue stonework. It serves as a breathtaking, culturally rich focal point when placed alongside dark wood shelving or minimalist modern decor. Measuring 10.7 inches in length, the piece spans roughly the width of a standard dinner plate, ensuring significant visual impact. At a substantial 1.07 kg, the solid brass construction grounds the vessel with a satisfying, premium weight. The sheer volume of specialized artisan labor required to hand-cut and flush-set hundreds of tiny stones across a curved metal surface guarantees this object's status as an exceptional collector's piece.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCelebrate eastern tea traditions by presenting this vessel alongside a jeweled Himalayan box for your finest loose leaves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casa Mandala ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46139598635183,"sku":"VSP-040","price":3300.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8851\/9855\/files\/50_Compressed_d96af17e-6c49-4d5d-8790-0c0b54776a18.jpg?v=1761979433","url":"https:\/\/www.thecasamandala.com\/products\/stone-inlay-brass-dragon-teapot","provider":"Casa Mandala ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
