Teapot specialists are a rare breed! Making teapots requires a lot of experience, skill, and a strict work ethic. Each part—body, spout, strainer, lid, and handle—is wheel-thrown separately and assembled with perfect balance so liquid flows smoothly. Wood-fired teapots are the most challenging because the results are unpredictable, and at least 30% of them are destroyed by high heat or warping. However, the pieces that survive the fire are stunning. Every kyusu is unique and full of character. The salt-glazing technique produces a rainbow of colors, giving these perfect pieces a life of their own. Don't be fooled—these are perfect tools! Despite their appearance, they are incredibly lightweight, pour perfectly, and make every pot of tea taste better than the last.
