Hirotaka Umehara Mogake Kyusu - 240 ml

Japanese Kyusu teapot with side grip decorated with the Mogake method, which was developed in the 19th century. The teapot is coated with Amamo seaweed before firing and during the firing process in the kiln, a reaction is created between the seaweed minerals and the surface of the teapot. The result is a unique "burnt" pattern, see photos..

Another unique piece in our wide range of Tokoname teapots.

Maintenance: do not use detergents, dishwasher. Clean by hand, with clean water, without chemicals. Do not clean with clean detergents. The teapot should be left to dry after each use. Ideally, specify the teapot for the specific type of tea for which it will always be used.
