This exquisitely crafted Tokoname-yaki houhin (handleless teapot) is made from a dark grey clay with a super thin layer of an original glaze developed by Tomohiro that gives the pot a unique metallic sheen, and further decorated with grass-like stripes. Unlike many houhin, this pot has a closed, kyusu-style spout

The teapot's built-in ceramic sasame filter is perfect for naturally straining tea, with a wide shape for faster pouring and less clogging.

This houhin was made by Sawada Tomohiro (澤田朋大).

Tokoname-yaki (常滑焼) is a type of Japanese pottery that traditionally comes from Tokoname in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The site of one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, pottery has been made in Tokoname since the 12th century.

Today, Tokoname ware is known for its iconic brick-red clay called shudei. Famously used in teaware and bonsai pots, this clay’s vibrant colour comes from its rich iron content. Tea steeped in unglazed Tokoname teapots is said to have a mellower taste.
