Side handle Teapot

Red Clay Side-Handle Teapot – A Tribute to Tradition

Rooted in the timeless art of tea brewing, this handcrafted red clay side-handle teapot embodies both functionality and rustic elegance. The side-handle (yokode kyusu) design, often found in Japanese and Chinese teaware, allows for a smooth, controlled pour—enhancing the experience of brewing delicate green, oolong, and roasted teas.

The natural, unglazed red clay (hong ni) develops a patina over time, absorbing the essence of each brew, making it more refined with use. Its textured surface and organic form celebrate the beauty of raw materials and the art of slowing down with tea.

Features & Meaning:

• Traditional side-handle design – Ideal for precise pouring and ergonomic handling.
• Unglazed red clay (hong ni) – Naturally enhances tea flavors and evolves with use.
• Hand-thrown & shaped – Each teapot carries unique character and craftsmanship.
• Perfect for gongfu-style brewing – Best suited for green, oolong, and roasted teas.

Tea is more than a drink—it’s a ritual, a pause, a moment to connect. This teapot is designed to be your companion in that journey.
