This Tokoname-yaki kyusu (teapot) is made from red shudei clay and decorated with a floral motif over its body and lid. Its mesh basket strainer is perfect for brewing even the most deeply-steamed fukamushi senchas. Please note: the lid does not fit the pot well when the basket strainer is inside.

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:

15.5cm (6.1in) - width (including handle)
8.1cm (3.2in) - height
280ml - capacity

Condition: Good (chip on the lid rest, and the lid does not fit well when basket strainer is inside the pot, please see photos)
