This handmade teapot is crafted by Gyokko Kiln's second-generation artisan, Gyokko Umehara. Both the second and third-generation Gyokko are recognized as traditional craftsmen.

All Gyokko Kiln teapots are equipped with a "Ceramesh" ceramic tea strainer for effective filtration.

The clay used is Shudei clay and Yakishime clay, carefully shaped on a potter's wheel.

Due to the handmade nature of these teapots, individual sizes may vary. Additionally, variations in firing may result in differences in the appearance of the kiln effect or the coloring of the Chagama-hen finish, which may differ from the images shown.

[Tokoname Ware]
Tokoname Ware is one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns, with origins tracing back to the late Heian period.

A hallmark of Tokoname Ware is the use of iron-rich clay from the Chita Peninsula. This unique property allows the iron content to turn a vibrant red, creating the signature Shudei color that defines Tokoname ceramics.
