Chikushun Tokoname Teapot

Brew loose leaf tea the traditional way with this Tokoname-ware teapot from the Chikushun kiln. Tokoname, one of Japan's oldest pottery towns, is renowned for its iron-rich reddish clay, prized for its ability to soften the taste of tea. We love the matte finish that feels pleasing in the hands.

A fine built-in mesh strainer at the base of the spout keeps loose leaves contained while pouring, making this teapot ideal for everyday steeping.

Features:

• Materials: Ceramic (Tokoname clay)
• Size: 4.75"W x 7"D x 4"H
• Capacity: 18 oz
• Built-in strainer mesh at spout
• Made in Japan

For steeping tea only — not for stovetop use.

Care:

• Rinse with hot water after each use
• Run water through the spout to clean the built-in strainer
• Remove the lid and air dry completely before storing
• For stubborn stains, fill with boiling water, add a few spoonfuls of baking soda, and let sit at least an hour before rinsing thoroughly
