Gyokko Fukurogata Mogake Kyusu

Tokoname teapot from the Gyokko Kiln

The teapot was fired twice, first in an oxidation chamber with seaweed, and then in a lower temperature reduction chamber, where the clay carbonizes and this gives the surface a matte brown patina.

The pattern on the surface is achieved with "Mogake technique" developed back in the 19th century. The pot was wrapped with Amamo seaweed, which reacts with the clay and oxidizes during firing. The result is this unique finish, bearing the impression of randomness, which has both aesthetic and philosophical appeal to the Japanese.

This yokode kyusu is made with great precision, ensuring a beautiful flow without dribbling. Perfect for your daily Japanese green tea.

Place of origin: Tokoname city, Aichi prefecture, Japan

Handling precautions

Initiation:
Before first use, rinse it with hot water, then let it dry completely!

Usage:
Avoid placing it on hot surfaces, like stove, and never use it in microwave or oven.

Cleaning:
Tea stain is the natural part of a teapot's "maturing process", but if you prefer to avoid it, rinse the teapot well after every use, do not let the tea leaves sit in it for too long. It is better to avoid dishwashing liquid, but you can use gentle, organic soap to clean your pot. Never use bleach!
Avoid using dishwasher or dryer!
To clean the built-in strainer, run water backwards from the spout, or use a toothbrush or toothpick.

Storage:
After use, always let it dry completely, for if stored away while still wet, it might develop an unpleasant smell or mold.

Non-glazed ceramic tea pots absorb scents and flavours, so only prepare one class of tea in them (green tea, black tea, roasted tea, etc).
