Sazanami, meaning Small Ripples.
The Sazanami set is handcrafted by Gyokko, a potter based in Tokoname, and finished in shudei clay with a fine, rippling texture pressed by hand across the entire surface, evoking small ripples across water. This set includes a shiboridashi and two matching yunomi cups, ideal for sharing a pot of tea with a guest.
Watch our visit to Gyokko's studio in Tokoname here.
A shiboridashi is a lidded, handleless teapot traditionally used for brewing delicate Japanese green teas such as gyokuro and premium sencha. Its wide, shallow shape allows the leaves to unfurl gently and steep evenly, while the wide rim makes it easy to pour without a spout catching drips, a simple, elegant design favoured by tea connoisseurs.
Made in Tokoname, Japan by Gyokko
Set includes:
1 x Shiboridashi, 70ml
2 x Yunomi cups, 25ml each
Please note: shape, colour and capacity vary a little from piece to piece. That is the nature of handmade Japanese ceramics.

Each piece is made by hand, so the glaze on yours will differ from the photograph. That variation is the character of the piece, not a flaw.
