Kushime Shudashi Kokudei Tokoname Teapot - 360ml
This stunning Tokoname-yaki kyusu (teapot) is made from Tokoname kokudei (黒泥) clay, which has the same properties as the iconic red shudei (朱泥) but is fired in reduction producing a deep black. The body is decorated with a vertical combed pattern called kushime (櫛目), topped with a red line produced in the shudashi (朱出し) style, in which a thin layer of the blackened clay is scraped off, revealing the brilliant vermillion of the shudei clay underneath.
Its built-in ceramic sasame filter is perfect for naturally straining tea, with a wide shape for faster pouring and less clogging.
The kyusu comes in its original kiribako (桐箱 - paulownia wood box) signed and sealed by the artist.
Made by Hiroshi Koie (鯉江廣氏) who produces work under the name Reikō (玲光).
