Gyokkô Kyûsu 210 ml

Stoneware

This kyusu by Gyokkô II. from Tokoname is an example of classic Tokoname pottery using the decorative mogake technique.

In the mogake process, algae fibers are applied to the leather-hard clay and fired with it. The firing creates characteristic fine lines and subtle color variations on the surface. The pattern is not applied but emerges directly from the interplay between natural material and fire. Each pot therefore has a unique design.

The shape is flat and well-proportioned. The side handle allows for a stable grip and precise pouring. The spout is neatly crafted and supports a smooth, drip-free flow. Inside is a finely crafted ceramic filter, which is particularly suitable for Japanese green teas and requires no metal.
