The kyusu's round body and inset lid are decorated with delicately painted sakura (cherry blossoms) against a ground of small blue dots and golden arabesque: a style closely associated with Kutani ware. In fact, while Gyokko made the kyusu, the final decoration was completed by Kutani artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts built-in ceramic sasame filter is perfect for naturally straining tea, with a wide shape for faster pouring and less clogging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was made by the highly-respected Gyokko (玉光) Kiln, manned by the master potters of the Umehara family. As these are handmade pieces, there may be slight variations in the shape and colouration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gyokko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49173551546620,"sku":"US-K234","price":286.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0454\/6838\/5447\/files\/Tezumi-US-K234-2.webp?v=1780951519","url":"https:\/\/www.tezumi.com\/products\/hand-painted-kutani-style-sakura-arabesque-tokoname-teapot-250ml","provider":"Tezumi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
