This kyusu is meticulously crafted from premium Tokoname clay (Shudo), embodying elegance and sophistication. The natural allure of Shudoro clay is highlighted, with each floral motif on the teapot being intricately hand-drawn, showcasing the artistry involved in its creation. Tokoname, known as 常滑焼, is one of Japan's six oldest kilns, boasting a rich heritage that spans over a millennium. Originating from the region surrounding Tokoname city in Aichi prefecture, Tokoname-ware is a distinctive ceramic pottery that reflects the traditional craftsmanship of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns. The unique reddish hue of the pottery is a result of the iron content in the clay, which transforms elegantly during the firing process. This kyusu design effectively strains tea and ensures complete drainage of residual water, providing a seamless pouring experience. The pot is easy to clean, making it convenient for discarding tea leaves and maintaining cleanliness. Kyusu (急須) are traditional Japanese teapots, primarily constructed from high-quality fired volcanic clay. The term "kyusu" generally refers to a teapot, often recognized by its distinctive side handle, a common feature in Japanese tea culture. Dimension: 6.2"(L) x 3.3"(H) | Capacity: 17oz / 502ml | Strainer Included | Origin: Japan | Handwash recommended
