1. Product Story / Craftsmanship
This handmade 28-Yaki tea bottle embodies the classic Nanban-style aesthetic within contemporary wood-fired ceramics.
Shaped entirely by hand, the bottle features a square body softened by rounded corners, offering balanced proportions and a tactile, high-quality feel. The wood-fired glaze produces rich purple-red tones with natural kiln variation, resulting in a unique surface pattern on each piece.
The clay body is breathable and highly suitable for tea, enhancing the aroma and flavor of single-clump teas and oolongs. Its small 80ml capacity makes it ideal for one-person use or intimate tea sessions.
Special attention has been given to the spout design to ensure smooth, clean pouring — a hallmark of You Shanzi’s craftsmanship. Subtle irregularities and traces of hand work highlight the authenticity of the piece, while preserving a refined antique character consistent with the Nanban-style tradition.
Compact, elegant, and highly collectible, this tea bottle delivers both functional excellence and artistic expression within the 28-Yaki series.
