Sekka Kyusu, Japanese Teapot

Sekka (雪花), meaning snow flower, the delicate floral and dot detailing scattered across this teapot's stone-grey surface.

At 350 ml it fills two or three small Japanese tea cups (100 ml each). How to size a kyusu.

The Sekka Kyusu is reminiscent of grey and white stone, its surface marked with fine floral and dot motifs that recall snowflakes settling on rock. The muted, stone-like glaze brings a sense of natural serenity, making it as much a piece of quiet art as it is a functional teapot for daily brewing.

Tokoname ware (常滑焼, Tokoname-yaki) originates in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture, one of Japan's oldest and most renowned ceramic traditions, with about 900 years of kiln history. Present-day Tokoname is best known for its kyusu teapots, made from an iron-rich clay valued for its porous qualities, said to soften and enhance the taste of tea. Each piece embodies the wabi-sabi philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and nature.

Made in Tokoname, Japan.

Volume: 350 ml

Please note: shape, colour and capacity vary a little from pot to pot. That is the nature of handmade Japanese ceramics.
