Handmade in Tokoname, Japan by Gyokuryu Umehara

Mogake is a special decoration on tokoname teapots that is achieved by wrapping seaweed around the pots in the kiln. The salt and other minerals from the seaweed react in the kiln to produce beautiful organic patterns on the surface of the pot. The patterns resemble traditional red tie dyed fabrics called beni shibori.

Built in ceramic filter. 

These beautiful teapots are all made in Japan and are typically used for green tea. The smaller size of the pot allows you to pour out the entire infusion so that tea leaves can be easily re-infused numerous times. The side handle makes pouring easy and is also great for people with arthritis. Each pot contains an infuser to keep the leaves out of your cup! These are a great way to make your own tea ritual more personal.
