Teapot New Black 1 – Takashi Endo
$120
This stylish teapot is hand crafted by Kanagawa based ceramic artist Takashi Endo.
Endo San’s style features organic textures juxtaposed with sharp, modern design. His work is based on a foundation of monochromatic colours, and expresses the true nature of the clay which he sources from the Iga and Shigaraki regions.
He uses a purion clay which after using a reduction firing method, followed by cold reduction, reveals natural artefacts like feldspar. This creates a unique stone like finish that is textural and organic. This, coupled with his contemporary and minimalistic design, makes for distinctive pieces that are instantly recognisable as his own.

Robert –
There’s an amusing quirkiness to this pot, which I’m assuming was Takashi Endo’s intent. The spout is very high, so pouring must be done attentively while holding the lid, This reduces the tea stream to a long and deliberate, almost meditative, trickle that I rather like. Very happy with this purchase; it straddles between a functional item and a work of art.
