Tokoname ware, also known as Tokoname-yaki, is a type of Japanese pottery that originated in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture in central Japan. It is one of Japan’s oldest and most renowned ceramic traditions, dating back over 1,000 years. 

Present day Tokoname is known for its production of the Kyusu teapot. The clay found in Tokname is iron rich, has a distinctive red hue and is recognized for its heat retention and porous qualities. Each piece of Tokoname ware embodies the wabi-sabi concept of finding beauty in imperfection and nature.

Please note: The shape, colours, and capacity of each Kyusu may vary, a testament to their individuality and the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into each piece.
