A beautifully simple, modern teapot from Kinto’s Leaves to Tea collection, made from porcelain in Hasami, Nagasaki Prefecture which is a region with a 400-year history of pottery making. Its clean form and understated black finish reflect a contemporary approach to traditional tea ware.
The teapot draws on the skilled techniques developed in Hasami for making tea utensils, with careful attention given to everyday usability. The fine stainless steel strainer allows the leaves room to unfurl and release their flavour. The smooth pouring action of the spout is the result of delicate handiwork, with the rim carefully shaped and smoothed by skilled artisans. A stainless steel handle adds a simple, modern detail to the porcelain body.
A beautifully made teapot that brings together traditional Japanese craftsmanship and a clean, contemporary design.
