The Classic Teapot itself boasts hints to modernism, as well as elements of retro sensibilities. It is incredibly elegant and mono makes the product available in blue, which is the nuance for harmony. The manufacturer uses stainless steel for the strainer and Duran glass for the teapot. Retailing for 295 EUR, which is approximately $325 USD, each purchase will contribute 50 EUR, approximately $55 USD, to the operations of the International Justice Mission (IJM). mono's partner is a non-governmental organization that advocates and fights for international human rights.
