Earth | Japanese Onta Ware Teapot
This teapot was produced in the Japanese island of Kyushu according to ancient techniques dating back to the 15th century when Korean potters brought new techniques such as kiln designs and ash-glazing.
This teapot was produced in the small village of Onta where a few potters work together as a community in the folk-art tradition creating objects both for daily use and artistic purposes. Onta pottery has been designated an Intangible Cultural Property of Japan meaning that potters continue to work according to traditional methods and perpetuate important old knowledge and savoir-faire.
The earthy design of this teapot and the unique shape of the lid create an esthetical piece in harmony with nature. The earthy ceramic intensifies the taste of infused tea leaves in water.
