This Mino ware tea set is perfect for the modern lifestyle. Based in the Tono region of Gifu prefecture, home of Japanese Mino ceramics, maker Yamatsu uses its 150-year history to utilize traditional Japanese tea utensils while creating a contemporary impression in their handmade earthenware. For example, the body of this teapot boasts a prominent edge that changes shape in the middle - a chic take on a shape historically seen in Japanese iron kettles. The geometric design of the tea cups offers many benefits (aside from looking cool). Its cone shape is ergonomic and slightly tapered towards the top to gently waft the aroma towards you.

And we’re not the only ones raving about this Japanese tea set - it won the prestigious German international “Red Dot Design Award” in 2020!
