Japanese teapots for sale
Posted: Thu Mar 20, 2025 5:16 pm
It's time for me to let go of a few teapots.
There's a link to a Google Photos album at the bottom with many more pictures. Some pictures in this album also have more information in the description, so please check those.
Payments via PayPal in USD with $10 extra to go towards packing/shipping, likely via UPS ground, to anywhere in the USA. I will refund any overpayment for shipping. All of these teapots arrived in paper boxes, and I will ship them with these boxes inside another well-packed box. They may not be the exact boxes they came with, however.

Thanks for looking!
1. Tokoname flat hon-shudei kyusu by Yamada Yūtaro ~120ml
Weight: ~135g, ~94g without lid
Barely used for sencha and gyokuro. This is not the same teapot that appears in my older TeaForum posts.
In perfect condition.
More information and photos of this style of teapot can be found here: https://www.sazentea.com/en/products/p7 ... kyusu.html
2. Banko shidei kyusu by Ôtsuki Shun ~195ml
Weight: ~135g, ~115g without lid
Barely used. Works really well with kabusecha.
In perfect condition.
3. Tokoname shudei kyusu by Hiroshi Koie ~200ml
Weight: ~122g, ~109g without lid
Moderately used for sencha and tamaryokucha. Probably the most ergonomic and comfortable pot I've ever used... the clay feels soft in your hand. You can overfill it with water, put the lid on, and it still works perfectly without leaking or dribbling. If I could find a lower capacity kyusu from this artist, I would buy it.
In the same condition as when I received it from the shop. There is what I'm assuming to be an irregularity from firing where the knob attaches to the lid. It's very slight and hard to see without getting very close. No chips or wear from my use. See the Google Photos album for pictures and information in the description regarding the lid knob.
4. Porcelain Sabisenmon kyusu ~310ml
Weight: ~280g, ~234g without lid
Barely used for Japanese black tea/wakocha, which it brews wonderfully. Very light staining along the rim from brewing black tea... would come off with more wiping. The pattern on the top of the lid is painted, appears to be handmade, and has some irregularities.
In excellent condition, no chips or wear.

5. Kobiwako clay kyusu, 1st generation, by Maekawa Junzo ~145ml
Weight: ~119g, ~97g without lid
Well used for sencha and gaoshan, which it brews wonderfully. There is what appears to be a chip on the lid knob that, as far as I know, has always been there. See Google Photos album for a picture of this and more information in the description.
In very good condition.
6. Tokoname yakishime kyusu by Kohokujo ~140ml
Weight: ~95g, ~85g without lid
Well used for sencha and roasted teas/Taiwan roasted oolong. I broke the lid knob off and super-glued (I have since been converted to using epoxy) it back about six years ago. There is what appears to be a chip or just an irregularity in the clay on the edge of the impressively thin handle. This has always been there as far as I know. See Google Photos album for pictures and further information in the descriptions.
In good condition.
