Junzō Honshudei Gaiwan

Tokoname red clay gaiwan

This gaiwan, Maekawa Junzō's artwork, is a perfect example of simple elegance. It is a medium-sized gaiwan, ideal for any Chinese or Taiwanese tea.

The teapot is made of "honshudei" clay, which is extremely rare and sought these days. During the urbanization of Tokoname, like in the case of many other cities, the new living areas were built on parcels previously used as rice fields. During that time, clay was gathered from under those rice fields. Up to these days, this approximately 50 years old clay is used for honshudei ceramics.

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!

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 teapots absorb scents and flavours, so only prepare one kind of tea in them (green tea, black tea, roasted tea, etc).
