Cresting Waves Tokoname Teapot - 260ml
This exquisitely crafted Tokoname-yaki kyusu (teapot) is made from the iconic Tokoname shudei (朱泥) clay, known for its brilliant red colour and ability to subtly reduce the astringency of tea. The body is decorated with a detailed engraving of cresting waves, recalling Hokusai's famous woodblock print.
Its built-in ceramic sasame filter is perfect for naturally straining tea, with a wide shape for faster pouring and less clogging.
Made by master craftsman Umehara Jiro, who makes pottery under the name Gyokuryu Umehara (玉龍), this kyusu comes with its original kiribako (桐箱 - wooden paulownia box) signed and sealed by the artist
