Its round shape has an endearing quality, and its textured surface gives a warm impression. The well thought-out details and painstaking finish are testimony to the artisan's meticulous and reliable craftsmanship.
The white glaze inside the kyusu makes it easier to see what's inside, allowing you to spot and clean up remaining tea leaves, keeping the kyusu in good condition.

Notes
- Uniformly crafted with very thin walls, the teapot is particularly light and holds more water than one might guess from looking at it.
- Each kyusu is handmade, so individual teapots may vary in size and other specifications, and we may occasionally run short on stock.
