"This porcelain Arita-yaki Japanese tea set includes one kyusu (teapot) and two yunomi (teacups) made in the classic blue and white style, featuring a beautiful illustration of a village in front of distant mountains.
Compared to a steel mesh filter, this teapot's ceramic debeso (half-spherical) filter introduces no metallic flavours to the tea.
Made by Hataman Toen (畑萬陶苑)
