The marble pattern is created using seaweed from the Sea of Chita Peninsula, near Tokoname City, where the teapot is crafted.

Production Process:

1. The artist first shapes a teapot from red clay.
2. Seaweed is bound to the clay and fired to create the marble pattern.
3. The teapot is then fired in reduction, giving it a smoky black-red marble finish.

The result is a harmonious blend of red and black, with a traditional, dignified, and striking presence.

Unique Qualities of Smoked Red Clay: Under low light, the body appears a deep brown, while in brighter light, it reveals a reddish-brown hue. This shifting appearance offers varied impressions depending on lighting.

Smoked red clay adds a layered depth, creating a sense of richness.

Three Textures in One Teapot:

1. The lid and handle are highly polished, giving them a glossy, smooth finish like real marble.
2. The body has a sandy texture, known in Japan as "Pine Tree Peel," which resembles the feel of iron teapots.
3. The foot has a smooth natural texture.

This teapot offers a rich tactile experience and superb water flow, making it truly special.
