Black Clay Grape Japanese Teapot

This ceramic Japanese teapot features a vibrant grape motif set against a matte black clay body. The clusters and leaves are first outlined using a transfer-printing technique, with each grape carefully hand-painted for added warmth. 

A portion of the surface is adorned with icchin—a piping technique in which liquid clay is applied to form raised lines, adding texture and depth. Its elegant curves sit comfortably in the palm, and its lightweight build makes pouring effortless.

With a 200ml (6.8 fl oz) capacity, it is ideal for serving Japanese teas like sencha or gyokuro for 1–3 people. This teapot brings elegance and functionality to your tea time.

Presented in a finely crafted wooden box, it’s an impeccable gift for any tea lover.

Tokoname Ware

Crafted in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture, Tokoname ware has been at the heart of Japanese ceramics for centuries. As one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, the town is known for its rich pottery heritage and masterful craftsmanship. Among its most iconic creations are shudei kyusu—unglazed red clay teapots prized for mellowing the taste of green tea.

From its distinctive vermilion hue to the refined wheel-thrown form, Tokoname teaware continues to shape everyday tea moments with beauty, function, and tradition.
