This Tokoname-yaki kyusu (teapot) features a uniquely crowned lid rest body and decorative engravings of long grass.

Its brand new mesh strainer allows you to brew the most deeply-steamed fukamushi senchas without clogging up the spout.

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.

Dimensions:

16.5cm (6.5in) - width (including handle)
7.6cm (3in) - height
275ml - capacity

Condition: Very good (minor chip on the spout tip, please see photos)
