Born in Tokoname, a historic pottery town in Aichi, this teapot captures the beauty of unglazed stoneware and the clarity it brings to tea. Its gentle, rounded profile feels natural in the hand, while the 290 ml (9.8 fl oz) capacity is perfect for a calm tea moment shared by two. Available in beige, gray and black, each color carries its own presence, ranging from deep and grounding to bright and airy. The soft, harmonious tones of the IROIRO series blend easily into any space.
Inside, a fine ceramic mesh filters even the smallest leaves, ensuring every pour is clean and balanced. The lid fits with a satisfying precision, closing with a soft, pleasing sound that signals the start of a peaceful break. Thoughtfully shaped and free of unnecessary embellishment, the pot is simple to wash, with an opening that lets your hand fit inside for easy care.
Look closely and you’ll notice subtle mineral grains catching the light, creating a delicate shimmer. This is a piece designed for everyday use, whether you’re brewing a gentle sencha or a more toasty hojicha.
