During our 2025 visit to Tokoname, Japan, our team had the privilege of commissioning acclaimed potter Junzō Maekawa to create this one-of-a-kind teaware set.
Born in 1976, Maekawa works from his family’s Kenzan Kiln in Tokoname City, crafting beautifully balanced teaware with a quietly expressive presence. His work has garnered several honors, including the Prime Minister's Award at the Tokonameyaki Promotion Exhibition and the Tea Art Recommendation Award at the Taiwan International Golden Pot Awards.
Maekawa brushed the teapot and serving pitcher in this set with white clay slip and then fired them at high temperatures in the kiln, creating a soft matte finish that reveals subtle, natural variations in tone as the light shifts. As with all of Maekawa’s work, these clay vessels are crafted to elevate both the character of your tea and the ritual of serving yourself and others.
Although these vessels are ideal for brewing and serving green teas, we encourage you to choose which tea you'd like to dedicate them to. Please note that some botanical infusions (especially fruit-forward blends) may cause discoloration or residue buildup over time.
