Why We Love It
The Brass-Handle Mino Japanese Teapot Set epitomizes refined elegance and practical design, featuring a large kyusu teapot (27oz/800ml) and two teacups, all finished in a sleek matte black glaze. Crafted from the renowned Mino clay, this Japanese teapot set presents a minimalist aesthetic, making it an exceptional gift for tea aficionados.
The large teapot's streamlined silhouette not only boosts its visual appeal but also enhances the functionality by ensuring even expansion and thorough extraction of the tea leaves' essence. This careful design includes a tea strainer mesh, integral to delivering a tea experience that brings out the purest flavors of the brew.
Equipped with a metal handle from Tsubame-Sanjo, known for its metalworking craftsmanship, the teapot features a brushed brass handle. This handle draws inspiration from traditional iron kettles and develops a charming patina over time that enhances its beauty. Its innovative design earned this teapot set the Red Dot design award in 2020.
Why Choose a Teapot Set from Mino
Mino ware, hailing from the historic Mino Province (now Gifu Prefecture), has a celebrated history spanning over 1300 years. This cherished Japanese pottery, officially recognized as a traditional craft, is renowned for its high-grade clay and diverse crafting techniques.
Loved for its vibrant hues and intricate detailing, Mino ware stands as a paragon of versatility and timeless elegance, constituting more than 60% of all traditional Japanese tableware produced today.
With a 150-year legacy, Yamatsu Kiln is a pillar in the Mino ware community. The kiln and its craftsmen are dedicated to "caring for happiness" through their pottery, striving to enrich lives both in Japan and globally with their exquisitely crafted tableware.
Caring for Your Mino Ware Teapot Set
To maintain your teapot set, wash with a soft, dry cloth. If the brass handle loosens, remove it, gently widen by hand, then reinsert. Brass develops a natural patina over time; to preserve its appearance, clean with a specialized cream. Avoid over-expanding the handle to prevent cracking. This care will ensure the longevity and beauty of your brass-handled Mino ware teapot set.
