MAOCI Arare – The icon of cast iron teapots
The Arare items are among the most beloved cast iron pieces. But do you know the story behind their name?
With the Arare teapot, MAOCI presents a true masterpiece of Far Eastern tea culture – powerful in presence, refined in detail. The distinctive Arare pattern is one of the most recognisable and enduring designs in cast iron craftsmanship. Traditionally originating from the Morioka or Oshu regions in Japan’s Iwate Prefecture – areas renowned for centuries of exceptional metalwork – this surface is adorned with a field of raised dots, reminiscent of falling hailstones. Fittingly, the word Arare translates to "hail", evoking the visual metaphor of tiny, scattered elements falling from the sky.
The pattern not only lends the teapot its unmistakable aesthetic but also enhances its tactile quality and thermal performance. Made from solid cast iron and enamelled on the inside, it brings together centuries of tradition with contemporary functionality. The kettle retains heat for an extended period, turning every tea ritual into a moment of mindful pause.
Whether as an elegant centrepiece or a faithful daily companion, the MAOCI Arare is more than a teapot – it is a celebration of simplicity, craftsmanship, and quiet appreciation.

A touch of art in cast iron
Every teapot is a masterpiece: The airbrush design provides the MAOCI teapots a fascinating design
These teapots are far more than mere vessels – they are true works of art. Each one is finished by hand using an intricate, multi-stage airbrushing process, endowing the surface with a captivating texture, gentle colour gradients, and subtle depth. The result is a uniquely timeless aesthetic, available in four elegant base tones: slate grey, sky blue, mint green, and carmine red.
With a delicately enamelled interior and a finely crafted spout, each teapot preserves heat and the nuanced aromas of your favourite tea with remarkable fidelity. The result: a refined tea experience that speaks to both the senses and the soul.
