Mogake Red Shudei Tokoname Shiboridashi - 50ml

This exquisitely crafted Tokoname-yaki shiboridashi (handleless teapot) is made from the iconic Tokoname shudei (朱泥) clay, decorated with an intricate web of fine mogake (藻掛 - seaweed wrapping) patterns. As the name suggests, this traditional Tokoname technique that dates back to the Edo period is achieved by wrapping each piece with amamo seaweed before firing. In the kiln, the seaweed burns off, leaving its carbonised silhouette draped across pot.

This piece was made by Hakusan (白山). As these are handmade pieces, there may be slight variations in the shape and colouration.
