Introducing the NEW Obix Filter!
Coming on to the market this year in Japan is the all new obix filter for Tokoname Teapots! A very practical filter that we’re sure some of our customers will be happy to see!
So what’s an obix filter you may ask? Well, it’s an innovative plastic filter that can easily be removed from the teapot by the little plastic handle on the side of the filter. It can then be thoroughly cleaned by hand and then easily fixed back into the teapot prior to each usage. Here’s an image of one removed from the teapot:

The filter is made from durable plastic and will last a long time, but if you do happen to need a new filter we are stocking them here: Obix Filter For Tokoname Teapots.
Currently, we have two teapots that are fitted with the obix filter, the more expensive Kuro Kushime Obix Tokoname Teapot, and the cheaper Shusen Obix Tokoname Teapot. Both excellent functional teapots from Tokoname!
Tokoname Teapot New Arrivals
Some new additions to our catalog of Tokoname Teapots have arrived and a few others will arrive pretty soon. Most of these were selected for their obvious impressive quality, techniques and appearance, yet also for their functionality and features. Below are three interesting new features:
First up, is what is known as a “Chakkiri Kyusu”. It has a uniquely shaped spout allowing for a smoother pour. Found on these two teapots Kuro Midori Chakkiri Tokoname Teapot & Kuro Ruretto Chakkiri Tokoname Teapot. If you have any type of trouble or difficulty pouring tea or have a teapot that clogs and/or dribbles, this type of Tokoname Teapot will aid you extremely well:

Next up, a feature of an extra wide sasame mesh! Found on this very kyusu Biri Shusen Tokoname Teapot. Helps with the pour and incredibly difficult to clog:

And finally, from this batch of teapots, we’d like to introduce a teapot with a slice cut out of the rim where the lid rests. Found on this teapot Kuro Midori Chakkiri Tokoname Teapot. Especially useful for removing spent leaf from the teapot keeping it in pristine condition:
