Yuzamashi Tokoname Black

A traditional Japanese vessel used for cooling water in tea preparation. The yuzamashi helps to lower the water temperature to the ideal level, preventing delicate tea leaves from being steeped in overly hot water.

Tokoname, one of Japan’s six historic pottery centres, is renowned for its long tradition of crafting distinctive tea ware.

Its elegant black colour, simple form and natural surface make this vessel not only a practical tool, but also an elegant addition to any tea set.
