This is a set of ceramic kyusu (teapot) and two sencha teacups from the Takada Kiln, a designated kiln of the Ogasawara family, by Koyama Takada, a traditional craftsman of Ueno-yaki pottery. Ueno-yaki allows you to enjoy various aspects of pottery, such as its colors, the flow of glaze, texture, luster, and kiln changes. - Type: 1 kyusu and 2 sencha teacups - Color: Blue-green - Material: Ceramic - Size: Kyusu: Height (with lid 11cm, without lid 8.5cm), Width (max) 15cm Sencha teacups: Height (with lid 7.5cm, without lid 5cm), Diameter 6.5cm - Design: The deep green gradation is tasteful and beautiful. The kyusu has an indescribable deep pink pattern and is generally glossy. "Sencha tastes very good when brewed in this kyusu," I was told when I received it, but I haven't had a chance to use it and it has been stored in the pantry for about 5 years. Ueno-yaki began in the early 17th century (1602) when Tadaoki Hosokawa, the lord of the Kokura domain, invited a Korean potter and had his family build a climbing kiln in Ueno.
