【Elegant Teapot by Tosen, a Master Craftsman of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan, Tokoname Ware】 This is a teapot crafted by Tosen, a master craftsman of Tokoname-yaki, a traditional craft of Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture. It is a masterpiece that combines the beautiful shade of vermilion clay, delicate carvings, and meticulously calculated functional beauty. ■ Vermilion Clay that Enhances Tea Flavor: The iron oxide-containing clay unique to Tokoname-yaki reacts with the tannins in tea, suppressing bitterness and bringing out a mellow and rich flavor. Exquisite Tea Strainer: Tosen's unique fine holes (ceramic mesh) are applied, allowing you to pour every last drop without using a metal tea strainer, preserving the original flavor of the tea. Craftsmanship of a Master: The handle that fits comfortably in the hand and the excellent spout design that prevents dripping are the result of the skilled craftsmanship of a seasoned artisan. Also Suitable for Gifts: In new, unused condition, it is perfect for everyday use, as well as for gifts to loved ones or for collections. ■ Product Specifications Artist: Tosen Origin: Tokoname-yaki (Aichi Prefecture) Condition: New, Unused (Stored at Home) Wooden Box: None ■ Shipping As it is ceramic, it will be carefully protected with multiple layers of cushioning material and shipped via Mercari delivery with a fragile goods designation.
