This elegant vintage sencha set is a fine example of Tokoname-yaki (常滑烧), one of Japan’s oldest and most celebrated pottery traditions. Crafted by the artist Akizuki (秋月), the set features a beautifully balanced kyusu side-handle teapot, a yuzamashi cooling pitcher, and five matching teacups, all formed from the signature red clay characteristic of Tokoname kilns.
Each piece is decorated with simple hand-drawn grass motifs, adding subtle artistry while maintaining a clean, understated aesthetic. The kyusu is fitted with an integrated clay strainer—ideal for sencha—ensuring a smooth pour and refined brewing experience. The cups are lightweight and comfortable to hold, showcasing the smooth texture and warm tone of Tokoname clay.
The set comes complete with its original wooden storage box, calligraphed with the maker’s name and fitted with compartments to securely store each component.
A harmonious, functional, and collectible Tokoname-yaki tea set—perfect for daily sencha brewing or as a valued addition to a Japanese ceramics collection.
