Product Overview
Simple, appealing shapes. Visually arresting kiln effects. Lovely, graceful
proportions. Unglazed surfaces. Thin-walled sides. Controlled, drip-free
pouring. Comfortable handles. These details of craftsmanship are the hallmark
of Tokoname pottery. Since the Edo Period ( 1603-1867) Tokoname has been a
famous pottery center for high-quality, artistic pottery. Today, contemporary
master craftsmen continually stretch their skills in new directions as they
carry on traditional practices while embracing new ideas and designs.
Established and award-winning potters such as those whose work we represent
often mix their own unique clays by combining several types of clay from other
kiln areas such as Seto, Shigaraki and Iga to achieve the aesthetic effects
and textures that they want. This creates very distinguish teapots that may
not be made again and a shopping feast for Tokoname collectors. So, it is
possible today to find these teapots in a range of clays from fine-grained,
iron-rich, classic red or black clays; to slightly grainy stoneware type clays
that can be grey, tan or white in color. But no matter what clay is used
Tokoname teapots are instantly recognizable as Tokoname from their thin vessel
walls; exquisite, fine detail work on lids, spouts and handles; decorative
techniques and perfect balance. Tokoname teapots are collected as works of art
or treasured as superb tea steeping vessels by enthusiasts around the world.
All of our Tokoname teapots are fit with a built-in clay strainer to prevent
the tea leaves from entering your teacup. The strainers are made of clay.
