Kanayama Matte Brown Kyusu Teapot 13.5 fl oz
One of the features of Kanayama pottery, called "Sangiri", is produced by indirectly heating pottery that's buried in ash. The same effect is also achieved when pottery is fired in a furnace and heated until oxidation occurs. The lack of oxygen that these methods create causes greys and blues that are seen in nature to appear in patterns on the surface of the pottery.
The rustic, unique appearance of this teapot adds warmth and character, making it an excellent choice for serving a special selection of teas.

Kanayama Pottery
Tsugaru Kanayama pottery is made from high-quality resources found at a local reservoir. These pieces of pottery are made using the "Yakishime Method", a technique in which unglazed pottery is faced directly into a fire fueled by local Japanese Red Pine Wood. The pottery reaches a high temperature of 2462°F, creating a natural, unique pattern on the surface of each piece.
