120ml Handcrafted Ceramic Japanese Kyusu Teapot, Retro Dark Glazed Side Handle

What is a Kyusu Teapot?

Kyusu is the traditional Japanese side-handle teapot designed to deliver precise control over steeping and pouring, making it a favorite among tea enthusiasts worldwide. Its ergonomic side handle lets you adjust pour angle and speed easily, eliminating spills and keeping your hands away from heat.

Unique Design & Craftsmanship of This Kyusu Teapot

This 120ml (4oz) Kyusu teapot is handcrafted from durable high-quality ceramic, with a special kiln-fired glaze that creates one-of-a-kind metallic gold textured patterns on a deep dark base. Each piece has subtle variations in color and pattern, making your teapot truly unique. The low-profile compact shape pairs perfectly with the ergonomic side handle for a comfortable, balanced grip every time you pour.

A built-in fine mesh filter in the spout naturally traps tea leaves, giving you clean, sediment-free smooth tea without needing extra strainers.
