Hirakyusu teapot mogake beige Gyokko 200ml

Hirakyusu teapot mogake beige Gyokko 200ml

An original, handcrafted teapot from the renowned Gyokko pottery studio, owned by the Umehara family.  Hirakyusu means “flat teapot” -this shape allows the tea leaves to expand properly and release their best aroma. Tea brewed in a flat teapot with a wide base has the deepest umami flavor possible. Warm, beige color with delicate decorations in the form of natural “veins.” This is the traditional mogake technique - applying seaweed to the vessel before firing - in the kiln, the seaweed melts into the clay, creating a one-of-a-kind pattern. A precisely crafted ceramic tea strainer. Japanese tea ceramics at their absolute best. A unique choice for connoisseurs of luxury teas. A beautiful, minimalist vessel for brewing high-quality tea. The artist’s signature is located below the handle.
