Hagi Ware – Handmade Hōhin (Teapot without Handle), White Glaze
We are pleased to introduce a Hōhin from Hagi ware.
A Hōhin is a type of teapot without a handle, traditionally used for serving high-grade teas such as gyokuro in the art of sencha.
The absence of a handle is due to the fact that fine teas like gyokuro are not brewed with boiling water. Instead, the water is cooled beforehand using a yuzamashi (cooling vessel), so the pot does not become too hot to hold, eliminating the need for a handle.
In addition, to prevent any metallic flavor from affecting the tea, there is no metal mesh strainer. Instead, small holes are made on the inside of the spout for filtering.
The capacity is 200 ml when filled to the brim, suitable for serving one person.
This piece is crafted by wheel-throwing brown clay and applying a white glaze.
With a bold and robust form, it features a wide mouth that makes it easy to add tea leaves, discard them, and clean the pot. The design combines functionality with elegance.
A simple yet refined piece, filled with the maker’s high level of craftsmanship, it is made to be used and cherished for many years.

萩烧 手工制作 宝瓶 白釉
这是来自萩烧的宝瓶介绍。
“宝瓶”是指没有把手的急须。
在煎茶道等场合，用于冲泡玉露等上等好茶时所使用的器具。
之所以没有把手，是因为在冲泡玉露等好茶时，本来就不使用沸腾的热水，而是先经过冷却，降低水温后再使用，因此并不会烫得拿不住，所以不需要把手。
另外，为了避免产生金属气味，没有使用金属滤网，而是在壶嘴的内侧直接开有出水孔。
容量为满水时 200cc，正好是一人份的容量。
采用茶色陶土拉坯成形，再施以白釉烧制而成。
造型有力，壶口宽大，便于投茶、弃叶与清洗，使用十分便利。
这是一件凝聚了匠人高超技艺的简约而可长期使用的佳品。
