About Tokoname: Located on the west coast of the Chita Peninsula facing Ise Bay, Tokoname City in Aichi Prefecture is known as a pottery town nationwide. Tokoname ware is counted as one of the six oldest kilns in Japan with a history going back to 1100AD. 

Tokoname teapots were designated as a traditional craft by the Japanese government in 1976 and are characterised by their fine grain and strong firing, which is achieved by using a clay that contains high amounts of iron.

Lovely teapot

Since drinking Japanese teas, brewing is so much better with this lovely little pot. It’s meshed at the sprout and holds the right amount of water for the cup.
The only reason I’ve given it four stars, trying to get the tea leaves out when cleaning isn’t the best.
