This stunning Crimson Radiance Teapot unpretentiously displays the extraordinary skills of the Tokoname artisans who create these beautiful pieces. The teapot's wide body and sharp angles harken back to another era, while carefully sculpted spouts and gently flared handles also speak to the ancient influences at play—the kilns of Tokoname being some of Japan's oldest. Meanwhile, modern touches such as the snug-fitting lid and a removable fine-mesh stainless steel strainer show this teapot's new-world pedigree. The captivating shade of natural crimson is developed from the imperial-red clay, a lakebed clay known as Shudei. The reserved red coloring is brought to life during the intricate firing process–a type of oxidizing firing that calls out the natural mineral contents of the clay and the subsequent crimson color. Tea aficionados find that teapots with naturally high iron content interact with the tea, opening up new flavor levels. With its modern fine mesh screen, this gorgeous Crimson Radiance Teapot is perfect for brewing all varieties of loose-leaf tea.
