Featuring the distinctive nami-yu glaze, which is made from the ashes of the Kyoto forest, this teapot boasts a natural clay color in creamy-white. With the camellia design, you're treated to the serene presence of this beloved flower, enhancing your tea-drinking moments.
The delicate art of underglaze painting is employed to breathe life into the camellia design, passionately adored and developed by Taniguchi. The leaves showcase an artful blend of dark and light green shades to create equilibrium, while the petals gleam with white and red dyes, offering a unique, raised, and glossy finish.
The teapot's handle, masterfully shaped from a branch, creates a harmonious contrast with the stoneware's smoothness, complemented by the organic texture of wood. Despite its lightness, the pot's rim is exquisitely defined by a line of gold script, and its base is tenderly brushed with gold, subtly enhancing the intricate design. Each rotation of the pot reveals the camellia's full splendor, transforming every pour into an enchanting ritual.

Maker / Brand
Tosen Kiln was founded in 1868 as a Kiyomizu ware wholesaler. In 1944, it established a production studio in Mukomachi, a suburb of Kyoto, marking the beginning of full-scale Kiyomizu ware production. Today, the kiln operates in Gojo, Kyoto, continuing its legacy of craftsmanship.
Dedicated to refining its techniques and artistic sensibilities, Tosen Kiln embraces Kyoto’s traditional craftsmanship while adapting it for the modern era. Drawing inspiration from Edo-period master potter Nonomura Ninsei, it preserves his precise lathing techniques and luminous painting styles, blending them with clean lines and warm tones to create pieces that resonate with contemporary aesthetics.
