Red Clay Japanese Tea Set
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This ceramic Japanese tea set is made of red clay from Tokoname ware, suitable for drinking Gyokuro (Japanese refined tea) with several people. A Mizusashi(water jag) and tea towel are also included, allowing you to enjoy tea time in an authentic atmosphere.
A Mizusashi is used to lower the temperature of the water. It is said that the ideal temperature for gyokuro is 50-60℃(122-140°F), so by adding water, you can make a delicious cup of tea.
It is finished using a technique called Sujibiki, which utilizes the lines created when the potter's wheel is turned, but it is a very advanced craftsmanship technique because beautiful lines cannot be created unless the work is finished in a single pass.
The lids of Tokoname Teapot are known for their tight fit and airtightness, which allows the tea to slowly draw out its flavor.
It has a "Sasame"/"Ceramesh" strainer, which is recommended to fully enjoy the aroma of tea. It is made with elaborate molds and new ceramic technology. This type of tea strainer is known for less clogging of tea leaves and smooth tea pouring.

Crafts
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.
