Japanese Kyusu - Akai Shinko 伸康 - Nerikomi Striped Tokoname-yaki Debeso Teapot - 150ml
This Tokoname-yaki kyusu (teapot) is made from the iconic red Tokoname shudei (朱泥) clay, accented by a stripe of nerikomi clay.
The nerikomi technique (練り込み) involves layering multiple coloured clays and kneading them together to produce an agate-like marbling effect. This teapot has a debeso (half-spherical) filter which adds no metallic tastes to the tea.
Made by Akai Shinko (伸康).
Tokoname-yaki (常滑焼) is a type of Japanese pottery that traditionally comes from Tokoname in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The site of one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, pottery has been made in Tokoname since the 12th century.
Today, Tokoname ware is known for its iconic brick-red clay called shudei. Famously used in teaware and bonsai pots, this clay’s vibrant colour comes from its rich iron content. Tea steeped in unglazed Tokoname teapots is said to have a mellower taste.
Dimensions:
14cm (5.5in) - width (including handle)
6.9cm (2.7in) - height
150ml - capacity
Condition: Excellent
