Vintage Japanese Kyūsu Teapot — Textured Black Clay, 2000s Heisei Era (SKU: 25M-492-3-5)
Where Earth Meets Ceremony in Sculpted Silence

Bold and meditative, this vintage Japanese kyūsu (急須) teapot from the Heisei era draws its strength from contrast—between smooth and rough, tradition and innovation, silence and ritual. Made for brewing sencha or gyokuro with precision, this side-handled vessel speaks to the grounded beauty of wabi-sabi through its raw, tactile surface and the quiet control of its shape.

Its striking exterior features a volcanic-textured gray clay body, subtly layered with an organic stone-like pattern, balanced by the deep matte black glaze of the lid and spout. The sharply tapered side handle—a classic kyūsu design—offers ergonomic ease while channeling a minimalist, almost architectural aesthetic. As functional as it is contemplative, this teapot is a statement of craftsmanship meant to elevate both tea and time.
