This delicately crafted Tokoname-yaki kyusu (teapot) is made from ryokudei (緑泥), a type of Tokoname clay that turns green when fired, due to added cobalt. It is decorated with elegant white camellias.

This kyusu's 220ml capacity is an excellent all-round size, suitable for solo sencha sessions and group houjicha helpings alike.

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

Made by Shunju Kiln (春秋窯).

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.
