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.
