Sangiri Bizen-yaki Kyusu - 350ml

This Bizen-yaki kyusu (teapot) was fired in a traditional wood-fueled noborigama (登り窯 - climbing kiln), with the ash and flames producing the rustic texture and organic colours that Bizen-yaki is loved for. The particular effect seen here is called sangiri. The classic shape and size of the teapot makes it useful for all types of teas, and its built-in ceramic do-ake style filter strains the tea naturally. This kyusu was designed by 19th-generation potter Mori Toshiaki and made by Hōzan Kiln. It comes in a kiribako (桐箱 - paulownia wooden box) signed by the kiln. Due to the organic and nature of hand-potting and wood-firing, each piece is unique.
