Hand-painted Tokoname Teapot - 290 ml - Balloon Vine Breeze / 常滑急須
Uncover the exquisite artistry of Tokoname, one of Japan's six oldest kilns. Tucked away in Aichi Prefecture, on the picturesque west coast of the Chita Peninsula, Tokoname City boasts a millennium-long heritage.
Serving as the portal to the Central Japan International Airport (Centrair), this enchanting town is celebrated throughout Japan for its pottery tradition. Tokoname ware, with a profound history spanning 1,000 years, stands as a testament to Japan's unparalleled ceramic craftsmanship.
With delicate hand-painted sakura blossoms on rich Tokoname clay, this kyusu captures the fleeting grace of spring in full bloom. Equipped with a removable handled strainer for effortless cleaning, it marries elegance with ease — a perfect companion for daily tea moments that celebrate both beauty and practicality.
Each piece carries the weight of time-honoured techniques and skills passed down through generations, making it a timeless addition to your home.
As every piece has its handmade feature, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.
