Hand-painted Banko Ware Teapot - 300 ml - Red Mt. Fuji / 萬古焼 急須
This striking Banko ware teapot exemplifies the harmony between artistry and function. Made from iron-rich clay, it features a beautiful hand-painted design of cherry blossoms (sakura) in full bloom, delicately cascading across its surface. The addition of a serene landscape scene further enhances the teapot’s connection to nature, a motif often found in traditional Japanese ceramics. The smooth, matte finish of the clay gives the piece an earthy warmth, while the vibrant colours used in the design create a captivating contrast that draws the eye.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this teapot is designed for practicality. The built-in stainless steel mesh filter allows for a seamless brewing experience, ensuring that even the finest tea leaves are perfectly steeped without any sediment. The side handle, crafted for comfort, makes pouring effortless, adding to the teapot’s overall elegance and ease of use. Whether displayed as a centrepiece or used in everyday tea ceremonies, this teapot offers an exquisite fusion of Japanese craftsmanship and natural beauty.
As every piece has its handmade features, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour, and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.
