Hirakyusu teapot biri black Gyokko 450ml

Classic tokonameyaki kyusu, handmade in famous Tokoname kiln - Gyokko. Black fired clay and tiny grooves on the clay called biri - traditional decoration technique. Hirakyusu means "flat teapot" - this shape gives tealeaves more space so they reveal the best possible taste of umami. Great for high quality teas. The artist’s signature is below the handle. It’s relatively large for a Hirakyusu teapot – you can use it to brew tea for the whole family or a group of friends.
