Volcanic Clay

This piece is remarkable for its uniquely textured surface, which features light brown volcanic clay speckled with lighter minerals.

Kevin Lin, the maker of this piece, recommends using this pot with charcoal-roasted wulong cha and post-fermented teas.

The side-handle is a feature most commonly seen today on teaware produced in Japan. It makes pouring multiple cups easy by requiring only a simple turn of the wrist — both ergonomic and good-looking.
