Product Overview
This small Kohiki-style white coarse clay teapot has a capacity of approximately 95 ml. Its compact size makes it ideal for one or two people, perfect for quiet tea sessions and attentive brewing.
The teapot is entirely handmade using traditional wheel-throwing techniques. The shape is simple and balanced, with natural lines that reflect the character of handcraftsmanship. Each piece carries subtle variations, giving every teapot its own unique personality.
The surface features a Kohiki-style finish, where a layer of white slip is applied over the coarse clay body before being covered with a transparent glaze and fired. This process creates a soft, warm white tone with delicate textures and subtle speckling from the underlying clay. The result is a rustic yet elegant appearance that highlights the beauty of traditional ceramic techniques.
The coarse clay body provides a pleasant natural texture and gentle breathability, while also offering good heat retention. The spout is designed for smooth pouring with a clean stop, allowing precise control when serving tea.
With its small capacity, this teapot is especially suitable for brewing teas that benefit from short infusions and multiple steeps, such as oolong, yancha, pu-erh, or Japanese sencha. The compact form allows better control of infusion strength and helps reveal the evolving aroma and flavor of the tea.
Over time, the surface will gradually develop a natural patina through regular use, becoming warmer and richer in tone. Each tea session subtly adds to its character, making the teapot a personal companion that grows more beautiful with age.
