A Banko-Yaki teapot by master craftsman Tachi Masaki. Although plain in design it is easy to distinguish the quality of craftsmanship, from the beautifully crafted handle and spout to the overall shape of the kyusu. Not only beautifully crafted, but also the simplicity of this hand thrown Banko kyusu reveals, in full, the beautiful silky clay that Tachi Masaki uses. A joy to use, and a very affordable piece of high quality Banko Yaki!
