A nerikomi Tokoname teapot by Shunzan. Shunzan is a true master at 'nerikomi', 'nerikomi katto', and 'tochiri' techniques. Nerikomi is the technique of mixing colored clays together to create a marbling appearance on the teapot. 'Nerikomi katto' is a cut/slicing technique that changes the dynamics of the marbling on the teapot. The other technique 'tochiri' is a highly skilled carving technique. To make a tochiri pattern on a teapot the potter turns the teapot on a wheel and uses a sharp ceramic carving spatula to make small indentations around it. Creating these techniques on a teapot is time consuming and can only be acheive by a highly skilled potter such as Shunzan.

My pot is as beautiful in detail as the picture. It is a functional work of art. It took me a while to decide to spend this much on a teapot. I priced many others on the web and found this one to be a very good value when put up against the others. I finally realized that mass produced pots of similar brewing function were not that much less than expensive than this handmade artistry. It produces excellent tasting brews, pours well, and the tea leaves rinse out easily. It looks wonderful on our granite counter-tops. I'd like to see Yuuki-Cha carry an even larger selection of teaware, especially cups that match the two Shunzan pots.
