Tokoname ware Tokoname-yaki Tea pot Vintage Kyusu (teapot) Vintage Showa Retro vintage This is a Tokoname-yaki kyusu (teapot). It's a small size, approximately 10cm in diameter, 8cm in height, with a handle length of 5.5cm, and weighing 236.5g. Kyusu made of stoneware like Tokoname-yaki are said to have a certain degree of water absorption and the ability to remove impurities from water. They also absorb the bitterness contained in tea, which is said to mellow the taste of the tea. I received this over 30 years ago and have kept it unopened. Although it is a new, unused item, please understand that it has been stored at home for a long time before purchasing.
