Hailing from Tokoname, one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns with over 1,000 years of ceramic tradition, this teapot is more than just a vessel—it's a cultural artifact.
The Tokoname region, located in Aichi Prefecture, is home to some of Japan's most revered potters. In recognition of their dedication, the Japanese government established the title of "Traditional Craftsman" in 1973, honoring artisans who preserve and evolve the legacy of Japanese ceramics.
Teruyuki's teapots are not just functional; they embody the spirit of Japanese hospitality, harmony, and heritage. The elegant form, combined with the dichroic black mud and precise spigot design, offers a luxurious yet humble experience—perfect for tea connoisseurs and collectors alike.
Experience the depth of Japanese craftsmanship with a teapot that reflects centuries of tradition, innovation, and artistry.
