Mizutama (水玉) — meaning polka dots, the playful pattern spotting this teapot's surface.
The Mizutama Kyusu brings a lighthearted touch to traditional Tokoname craftsmanship, its surface scattered with a classic polka dot design. Practical and full of character, it's equally suited to daily brewing or as a standout piece on the table.
Tokoname ware (常滑焼, Tokoname-yaki) originates in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture, one of Japan's oldest and most renowned ceramic traditions, dating back over 1,000 years. Present-day Tokoname is best known for its kyusu teapots, made from an iron-rich clay with a distinctive red hue, valued for its heat retention and porous, breathable qualities that are said to soften the taste of tea over time. Each piece embodies the wabi-sabi philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and nature.
Made in Tokoname, Japan.
Volume: 450 ml
Please note: The shape, colour, and capacity of each kyusu may vary slightly, a testament to the individuality and craftsmanship behind every piece.
