Premium Kyusu
🔸"Yakishime Marugata" by TOMOHIRO 200 ml - 朋大 "焼き〆円型”
【 Product Type: Kyusu 急須, Tokoname ware, Masterpiece 】
Finely crafted round kyusu hand turned from natural clay by Sawada Tomohiro, a multiple award winning potter from Tokoname. Not exact black or dark gray, rather a yellowish dark bronze is basic colour.
Using the clay blended by Artist Sawada himself, everything is handmade from scratch. The lower part of the spout is intentionally finished to leave a burr. Mr. Sawada says this structure is to prevent tea from dripping from the spout.
A special feature of the production of this Kyusu is as elaborate and precise as the metal processing, and harmonious beautiful shape, and correspondingly accurately ground lid.
And the "Yakishime" technique is associated with very high fired unglazed stoneware ceramic, 1350°C is not uncommon, can sometimes reach even higher temperatures.
With integrated hand-pierced ceramic strainer, 200ml.
Fein gearbeitete runde Kyusu wird von Sawada Tomohiro, einem vielfach preisgekrönten Töpfer aus Tokoname, von Hand aus Naturton gedreht. Nicht schwarz oder dunkelgrau, eher ein gelbisches dunkles Bronze ist die Grundfarbe.
Alle Stücke werden vom Künstler Sawada aus selbst gemischtem Ton von Grund auf handgefertigt. Der untere Teil des Ausgusses ist absichtlich so bearbeitet, dass ein Grat zurückbleibt. Herr Sawada sagt, dass diese Struktur verhindern soll, dass Tee aus der Tülle tropft.
Ein spezielles Merkmal der Fertigung dieser Kyusu ist so aufwendig und präzise wie die Metallverarbeitung, und harmonische Formschönheit, und entsprechend passgenau eingeschliffenem Deckel.
Die "Yakishime"-Technik ist mit sehr hoch gebrannter, unglasierter Steinzeugkeramik verbunden, 1350°C sind keine Seltenheit, manchmal können sogar noch höhere Temperaturen erreicht werden.
Mit integriertem, handgestochenem Keramiksieb, 200ml

🔸常滑焼 TOKONAME-YAKI - A tradition of quality
Tokoname (常滑) is located near Chubu International Airport in southern Nagoya, Aichi Prefcture. High quality earthenware has been produced here since the 12th century, and still now, Tokoname is a center of pottery production in Japan.
Tokoname is one of Japan's six most important ancient kiln towns - the others are Bizen (備前), Echizen (越前), Seto (瀬戸), Shigaraki (信楽) and Tanba (丹波) - had the largest output of ceramics of any kiln town in the Edo Period (1600-1868).
In particular, Tokoname used to be the main production site for ceramic water pipes. In modern times, it is known around the world for its ornaments such as tea sets and beckoning cats.
