Kenji grey tea set for 2 people

Kenji grey tea set for 2 people

An elegant tea set for two, handmade in Kenji Touen's workshop in Tokoname. Tokoname ceramics are considered ideal for brewing green tea, as the iron compounds in the clay from this region enhance the flavour of the tea. Grey clay, striking scale-like carvings, a classic kyusu teapot with a precisely crafted ceramic strainer at the spout. The set is completed with two tea cups. Beautiful, minimalist vessels for brewing not only green tea. The studio's signature on the bottom of the teapot.

The grey colour of the dishes is difficult to capture in photographs – its nuance depends on the lighting.

Due to the fact that the dishes are handmade, there may be slight differences in the pattern distribution, colour and dimensions.
