The Obi-Ami Kyusu Black - White Cut is a testament to the precision and restraint of Japanese ceramic artistry. Handpicked directly from the master artisans of Tokoname, Japan, this teapot is handcrafted from two of the region's most distinguished clay types: iron-rich kokudei (black clay) and hakudei (white clay), seamlessly worked together in a single, elegant form.
The deep matte black of the body frames a precisely fitted band of white clay at its midpoint. Through this band, delicate four-petal flower motifs are cleanly cut, allowing the black clay beneath to emerge as the design itself—a beautiful study in negative space where decoration is defined by what is removed.
