The Korkmaz Çintemani Teapot Set (Model: A193 / A211-A213) is one of the most culturally significant sets in the Korkmaz collection. It is named after and inspired by the Çintemani motif, an ancient Ottoman symbol of power, elegance, and spiritual balance consisting of three circles and crescent waves. ## Technical Specifications Feature Details Model Numbers A193 (Silver), A212 (Gold), A213 (Rose Gold) Total Capacity 3.1 Liters (approx. 105 oz) Top Teapot 1.1 Liters Bottom Kettle 2.0 Liters Material 18/10 Cr-Ni Stainless Steel Base Solar Base (Triple Capsule) ## Symbolism & Design The standout feature of this set is the unique knob design on the lids, which depicts the three circles of the Çintemani: The Spiritual Eyes: The motif represents the "Eye of the Heart," the "Eye of the Mind," and the "Eye of the World." Continuity: The design symbolizes a continuous chain of harmony and power, bringing a touch of history to your kitchen table. ## Performance Features Solar Base System: The 140 mm wide capsule base is designed for maximum heat transfer. It boils water quickly and maintains the temperature for hours, even after the stove is turned off. All-Stove Compatibility: It is fully safe for induction, gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen stovetops. Insulated Metal Handles: While the ergonomic handles are made of stainless steel to match the body, they are engineered with insulating materials to ensure they do not burn your hands during normal use. High-Gloss Shine: The exterior surfaces are meticulously polished to a mirror finish that resists dulling and rusting. ## Use & Care Healthy Brewing: The high-quality stainless steel ensures no metallic taste and provides a hygienic brewing environment for loose-leaf tea. Dishwasher Safe: The set is generally dishwasher safe; however, for the Gold (A212) and Rose Gold (A213) versions, hand-washing is recommended to prevent the colored accents on the knobs and handles from fading over time. First Use Tip: Wash with hot water and liquid dish soap before the first use. To remove water spots or lime buildup later on, boiling water with a bit of lemon juice or vinegar will restore the shine.
