About Tokoname Ware:
Tokoname ware is a type of Japanese ceramic with a history dating back over 1,000 years to the late Heian period. Counted among Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, the Tokoname region has long been renowned for its wide array of pottery products, ranging from everyday teapots and tableware to architectural materials like ceramic pipes, tiles, and sanitary fixtures. In 1976, Tokoname ware was designated as a Traditional Craft Product under Japan’s national law promoting the preservation of traditional industries.
Features:
- High-Quality Stainless Steel Strainer: This teapot is equipped with a fine-mesh stainless steel strainer, making it ideal for even finely milled deep-steamed teas.
- Serving Size: Suitable for approximately three servings (about 100 ml per cup).
- Blue-Glazed Finish: Crafted by applying a blue glaze over a clay body and firing at 1,100°C, this teapot contains no harmful substances.
- Meticulous Craftsmanship: Each lid is carefully matched and ground to fit its pot, resulting in slight abrasion marks where the two meet—an artisanal hallmark ensuring a snug, comfortable fit.
