Tokoname Yusamashi pot with Spout - 250 ml - Fallen Leaf / 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.

Handcrafted from Tokoname red clay and finished with a green slip, this bowl is fired at 1100°C and adorned with hand-painted autumn leaves. Ideal as a yuzamashi for cooling water to the perfect brewing temperature, or as a unique vessel for matcha, it brings both function and beauty to the tea ritual. Subtle, earthy, and one of a kind.

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.
