Beautiful pot. Selected two matching cups and another small pot and cups for gyokuro. Order came in a few days from Japan. Great service and delivery!

Very beautiful pot. I got the Kokurei teacups which match the glaze exactly. The cups are lined with a smooth white porcelain. My hands fingered and appreciated the surfaces of both the pot and cups. Size is western idea of green tea service. Someday I must learn more about Japanese traditions and tea ceremony.

I have owned (and broken) many Japanese teapots in my life and this is one of the sleekest and most modernly beautiful. The glaze is a flat brown-black but what you maybe can’t tell from the photos is that there are shiny droplets of glaze that look like water. Very cool. And the piece is not heavy — fitting ergonomically in hand. You can tell that the craftsmanship and attention to detail are the highest priority.
I prefer to use a wire strainer basket and was happy that the standard commercial basket fit! I also tried it without, and although tea pours more slowly and has more tiny leaves in your cup, it works.
This is definitely an investment piece but we’ll worth the extra money for something hand-crafted, timeless and well-constructed. You can bet that my kids and husband will not be washing this for me.

It’s great and easy to use. It’s much more speckled than it appears

A beautiful tea pot. Striking exterior finish with black shadings which contrast nicely with the brown interior. Easy control pore and clean up. I love it. Shipping was quick with the use of DHL. As always Yuko places her clients first. Deep bow.
