Kyusu shipping Teapot Sand Medium (Ceramic or Screen Mesh Filter) - Nankei Pottery

This Kyusu teapot is a signature design of Yokkaichi based ceramic studio Nankei, and is finished in a natural sand colour.

It is made from 100% clay (apart from the mesh strainer) which is high in iron content. Iron is considered to enhance and mellow the flavour of Japanese Green Tea.

The teapot is made of 4 parts which are crafted separately by specialist artisans. They come together to produce a perfectly balanced teapot made with exacting skill.

There is a choice of two filter types. Firstly, there is the traditional ceramic filter.

Alternatively, the screen mesh filter in the base of the teapot is a unique design ideal for Japanese green tea, as the leaves are often small. Additionally, as it's raised slightly from the base, it stops tea from over-infusing and prevents extra cups, and/or steeps from becoming bitter.

The modern, yet classic design of this Kyusu makes it suitable for any interior or taste.

**Please note: the true colour of this item is beige / grey (Sand). It appears lighter in direct light. There can also be some slight colour variation between batches as they are all hand crafted.

**These teapots can occasionally have slight orange markings inside that are baked into the clay. They are not removable or a defect, they can appear depending on their position in the kiln.

Capacity: 270ml (good for 1-2 cups of tea)

Size (Approx): Width (inc. handle) 165mm / Height 97mm / Diameter 85mm
