Teapot - Seiryu on Black

Why is the handle shaped like that?

The unique Japanese-style side handle allows easy, controlled pouring and requires minimal wrist movement. This is especially useful when pouring sencha (green tea) in smaller amounts to multiple people. 

This teapot has a detachable fine stainless steel infuser for an easy wash.

Originating from Mino in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, Mino-ware is the most popular style in Japan, accounting for 60% of the country's ceramics. Mino-yaki is valued for its beauty and durability, making it popular for everyday use and, of course, special occasions.
