Kokudei pine bark teapot by Houryu

A supremely elegant, carefully crafted teapot . The body is made using a mold but the pine-bark effect is made on the potter's wheel before the clay is completely dry. The pine-bark effect on the lid and body contrasts beautifully with the smooth lines of the handle and spout. A subtle accent has been created by scraping clay away around the rim, showing a thin line of shudei(brick red color).
Built-in ceramic mesh filter
Handcrafted in Tokoname, Japan by Houryu
