This Tokoname-yaki kyusu (teapot) is made from black kokudei (黒泥) clay and decorated with calligraphy. Its built-in ceramic debeso filter is perfect for naturally straining tea.

This teapot was masterfully hand-made at 玉光 Gyokko Kiln and post-firing, it was repaired around its lid rest with kintsugi.

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.
