About Tokoname Ware:
Tokoname ware boasts a history spanning over 1,000 years since the late Heian period and is recognized as one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns. Alongside traditional teapots and everyday tableware, the Tokoname region is known for producing a wide array of ceramic goods, such as pipes, tiles, and sanitary fixtures. On June 11, 1976, Tokoname ware was officially designated as a Traditional Craft Product under the “Law for the Promotion of Traditional Craft Industries.”
Features:
- Stainless Steel Strainer: Equipped with a fine-mesh stainless steel tea strainer, ideal for enjoying even the finest deep-steamed teas without residue.
- Serving Size: Perfectly suited for about three servings (approximately 100 ml per cup).
- Black-Bokashi Gradient: Skillfully crafted from clay fired at 1,100°C, this teapot features a distinctive gradient finish—rich black at the top gently fading into a warm beige hue toward the base. The result is a beautifully balanced, two-tone design free of any harmful substances.
- Hand-Fitted Lid: Each lid is meticulously matched to its pot, leaving subtle sanding marks that attest to the artisan’s precision and care, ensuring a snug and secure fit.
