Bestselling Japanese Teacups - Set Of 5 Red Shudei Tochiri Engraved Tokoname-yaki Yunomi - 110ml Massive 90% Savings [em64jzOD]

This set of five Tokoname-yaki yunomi (teacups) feature a beautifully textured tochiri-style engraved horizontal band across their red shudei clay bodies.

Tokoname-yaki (常滑焼) is a type of Japanese pottery that traditionally comes from Tokoname in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The site of one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, pottery has been made in Tokoname since the 12th century.

Today, Tokoname ware is known for its iconic brick-red clay called shudei. Famously used in teaware and bonsai pots, this clay’s vibrant colour comes from its rich iron content. Tea steeped in unglazed Tokoname teapots is said to have a mellower taste.
