Tokoname teapot with a "rainbow oil drop" glaze and gold-painted lid

Umehara Tatsuo's new artwork, where the tenmoku glaze is painted over with gold on the lid. The "rainbow" color is thanks to a special and rarely used tenmoku glaze blend.

The teapot is fired in a reduction chamber and is unglazed on the inside.

Yuteki Tenmoku glaze got its name from a remote Chinese temple it was first used, on the Tianmu (Tenmoku in Japanese and Heaven's Eye in English) Mountain. From the 13th century, monks in this temple drank their tea from tea bowls glazed with a special technique called yuteki (literally meaning “oil drop”). Tenmoku glazes can range in color and pattern, which makes every glazed piece unique with the impression of randomness, which has both aesthetic and philosophical appeal to the Japanese.

Handling precautions

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

Usage:
Avoid placing the teapot 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 teapot's built-in strainer, run water backwards from the spout, or use a toothbrush or toothpick.

Storage:
After use, always let the teapot 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).
