Red Shudei Sujihiki Tokoname Teapot - 280ml

This expertly crafted Tokoname-yaki kyusu (teapot) is thrown from the iconic Tokoname shudei (朱泥) clay, known for its brilliant red colour and ability to subtly reduce the astringency of tea.

The surface is unpolished and unsmoothed, in a style called sujihiki (筋引) which is a subtler variation of rokurome (ろくろ目 - potters' wheel marks) which shows the flow of the potter's fingers as they shaped the piece on the wheel.

The teapot's built-in ceramic debeso filter is perfect for naturally straining tea.

The kyusu comes in its original kiribako (桐箱 - paulownia wood box) signed and sealed by the artist.
