Yokayama Shin'ichi Teapot 150 ml

Stoneware

This handmade katakuchi by Yokoyama Shin’ichi combines the original aesthetics of Bizen ware with an expressive, organic form. The wide-open bowl body, irregularly curved rim, and characteristic spout give the vessel a powerful appearance. The unglazed surface displays a varied interplay of warm reddish-brown tones, earthy gray nuances, and natural firing marks that occur in traditional wood firing. Plastic deformations, striking traces of workmanship, and the individual surface structure make each piece a unique one of a kind. As a chahai, the katakuchi is perfectly suited for pouring and evenly distributing tea, combining practical functionality with the original beauty of Japanese ceramic art.

This piece comes in a signed wooden box (tomobako)
