The exterior of the pot is decorated with Shōryū's signature tenmoku (天目) effect, with spots of subtly iridescent colour. Unlike a true glaze, this effect is not vitreous and retains the clay's natural matte feel. The kyusu is further decorated with delicately hand-painted pink and white plum blossoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lid knob is a metallic gold, with a texture echoing the tenmoku effect on the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe teapot's 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 kyusu was made by Umehara Shōji (梅原昭二) of Shōryū Kiln (昭龍窯). Born in 1945, Umehara-san has become well known for his unique tenmoku-inspired spin on classic Tokoname-yaki kyusu.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shōryū Kiln","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49173551513852,"sku":"US-K233","price":218.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0454\/6838\/5447\/files\/Tezumi-US-K233-2.webp?v=1780951513","url":"https:\/\/www.tezumi.com\/products\/plum-blossom-gold-tenmoku-rear-handled-tokoname-teapot-270ml","provider":"Tezumi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
