Black Red Yōhen Tokoname-yaki Shudei Kyusu Tea Set

This expertly crafted Tokoname-yaki tea set consists of a kyusu (teapot) and a pair of yunomi (teacups). Each piece is made from the iconic Tokoname shudei (朱泥) clay, fired with a striking yōhen (窯変) gradient from a rich vermillion red to a deep coal black.

The kyusu has a low, flat shape with a built-in ceramic debeso filter, perfect for naturally straining tea. Coupled with its small size, the flat shape is ideal for brewing high-quality sencha and gyokuro. The matching cups have a similarly low shape with a subtly flaring lip.
