About the Item

This one-of-a-kind tiger teapot is a striking sculptural creation by Imvelo Studio, hand-sculpted by Sibongiseni Biyela and painted by Natebyron in South Africa. The tiger—rarely depicted in African ceramic art—is portrayed mid-climb, grasping a twisting tree trunk that doubles as the teapot’s spout. Balancing fierce elegance with playfulness, the piece showcases Imvelo’s signature blend of storytelling and functionality. The tiger’s intense gaze and vivid stripes convey power and vitality, while a lush crown of sculpted foliage adds a touch of whimsy to its head. Though tigers are not native to Africa, this artwork draws on South Africa’s deep cultural appreciation for strength and resilience in nature. The handcrafted base and intricate detailing throughout make it a collector’s gem—equal parts fantastical teapot and sculptural statement. A tribute to the imagination and skill of Imvelo's artisans, this piece invites admiration from every angle.
