Tokoname gaiwan with an antique surface
This gaiwan, Maekawa Junzō' artwork, is a perfect example for rustic elegance. It is on the larger side, ideal for Chinese or Taiwanese tea sessions shared with family or tea friends.
This dark and rustic surface is achieved by a glaze that is Master Junzō's own innovation. This glaze is pervious, which means the teapot is still considered unglazed in its aroma-absorbing qualities. The glaze can vary from dark matte to dark golden brown.
Recommended in a set with Junzō's Small Kurokinsai yunomi or Kurokinsai yunomi and Kurokinsai yuzamashi.

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).

I am absolutely in love with this gaiwan. It's on a larger side, and works perfectly well when I am having my after-dinner-oolong-time with my family. The beautiful clay is helping to extract some very nice fragrant notes out of the Dancong teas. Love the rustic, wabi-sabi feel and texture of this gaiwan.
