Kyusu #59, Gyokko (175ml) Tokoname-yaki

This kyusu features a low, cylindrical shape and is crafted from a material resembling grey stoneware. It is decorated with fine horizontal grooves. In addition to the patterning, the teapot displays beautiful kiln effects that create patches of orange-hued coloration. It is equipped with an excellent, wide, fine-mesh strainer, making it ideal for brewing even finely shredded tea leaves. We deliver the kyusu in a decorated cardboard box.
