This teapot by Junzo Maekawa is made from red clay, also known as honshudei (本朱泥), which is extracted from rice fields.

The red clay used in these teapots is renowned for its relatively high iron content. During the firing process, the iron compounds oxidize, transforming the clay into a vibrant red-orange hue that is both striking and elegant.

The iron content in the red clay enhances your tea drinking experience, subtly enriching the flavor of your tea with each brew. This unique characteristic makes the teapot not only a functional piece but also an essential companion for any tea enthusiast.
