This Bizen-yaki kyusu (teapot) is a work of art meticulously crafted by Yoshiaki Takeda using traditional hand-building techniques. The surface, featuring distinctive crackling, beautifully harmonizes the milky white, brownish-red, and ocher gradations characteristic of Bizen-yaki, creating a warm texture. With a capacity of 200ml, it's the perfect size for carefully brewing gyokuro or high-quality sencha. The spout is designed to prevent tea leaves from escaping, ensuring practicality. Its compact design, with dimensions of 13cm width, 8.5cm depth, 8.5cm height, and a weight of approximately 200g, makes it easy to handle and convenient to store. Each piece is individually hand-built, resulting in unique characteristics, with no two being exactly alike. This is a treasured item that will be appreciated as a gift for those who love Japanese tea or collect traditional crafts. Hand washing is recommended. The rustic and powerful beauty unique to Bizen-yaki will make your daily tea time special.
