This unusual style of kyusu was completely handmade in Aichi prefecture, home of the historic Tokoname kilns. The muted olive green is accented by hand-drawn pin stripes, accentuating the tall sides of the pot. The clay is naturally unglazed and develops its green color inside the kiln as layers of ash melt to the teapot, called shizen-yuyaku. The pot is as pleasing to pour as it is to hold, filtering the tea through a handmade clay mesh screen. The lid fits snugly and doesn't leak, and the pour is so smooth it looks like pouring silk. The walls of the pot are relatively thin and slightly porous, so it is recommended to dedicate this pot to cooler temperature teas like senchas.
Please be mindful of caring for this tea pot. Rinse it well after use and never put it in the dishwasher.
The quintessential teapot for any Japanese tea drinker. All over Japan, this style of Tokoname-yaki kyusu is the standard for pouring tea.

The sturdy design and longer handle make it easy to grip while pouring, and allows for higher heat with it's thicker walls.
Please be mindful of caring for this tea pot. Rinse it well after use and never put it in the dishwasher.
Images of desert sunsets come to mind when looking at this kyusu. Fired in the historic kilns of Tokoname, one of the six ancient kilns of Japan. The pinkish-orange clay is partially glazed and ash fired, creating a freckled appearance that is unique to each pot. Inside, there is a mesh screen to filter out tea leaves. The round body and inner glazing makes this pot acceptable for use for a wide range of Japanese teas. It holds roughly 330ml of tea.
Please be mindful of caring for this tea pot. Rinse it well after use and never put it in the dishwasher.
Sourced from our spring tea trip in Dehua, this shinoware wood-fired beauty is a fun little pot to steep with. The short side handle is perfect for wrapping your finger around to pour and the widened sides leave plenty of room for rolled teas to unfurl. Each pot has reacted differently to the wood firing, making the designs unique moonscapes. The interior of the pot is unglazed and should not be shared with teas that have strong flavors or spices added, as it might overshadow more delicate teas steeped later. Volume: 5oz. / 150ml Material: Dehua Porcelain
