Ash Glazed Tokoname Teapot - 340ml

This unique Tokoname-yaki kyusu (teapot) has a classic, round shape, and is made from a dark grey clay splattered with ash in a style called haikake (灰掛). Accenting this is a line of green-hued ash glaze around the rim, which drips down the body.

The teapot's built-in ceramic sasame filter is perfect for naturally straining tea, with a wide shape for faster pouring and less clogging.

Made by Fujita Tokuta (藤田徳太), who was born in 1976 and is one of Tokoname's younger kyusu craftsmen.
