This large Banko-yaki kyusu (teapot) features a sculpted, unglazed clay body with a collar around its lid. Its mesh strainer is perfect for brewing even the most deeply-steamed fukamushi senchas.

Banko-yaki (萬古焼) is a type of Japanese pottery that traditionally comes from Yokkaichi in Mie Prefecture, Japan. Its characteristic purple hue comes from the mixture of red oxidised iron and blue high temperature-baked iron in the clay.
