Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This teapot set is made of red clay, known as one of the characteristics of Tokoname ware.
Tokoname red clay is a clay containing iron oxide suitable for pottery, and is characterized by a soft vermilion color when fired. Because no glaze is used, the clay itself absorbs the light and gives the pottery a moist texture that makes you want to touch it.
Finished on the potter's wheel in a thin and elegant form, allowing you to appreciate the high level of skill and the quality of the clay used.
Finding a teacup that matches a teapot is harder than you might think, but this set has a high quality and cohesive design that will immediately create an elegant tea time experience. This set comes in a wooden box, making it a perfect gift.
While retaining the natural atmosphere of clay, the polished and smooth texture and the minimalistic form cultivated through a long tradition convey an elegant atmosphere. 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 the site of 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 treasured for their ability to mellow 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.
