Produce Station Japanese Kyuusu Teapot #41 by Artist Billy Cho

Rooted in everyday ritual and made for quiet moments, this Japanese-style kyuusu teapot reflects the Produce Station approach to functional pottery—simple forms, thoughtful details, and work meant to be used daily. Wheel-thrown by hand, the side handle offers a relaxed, natural grip and precise control for smooth, steady pouring. The compact body is designed to let loose-leaf tea fully open, making it ideal for green teas and short, repeated infusions. An integrated clay strainer at the spout keeps leaves contained while allowing the tea to flow cleanly into the cup. Subtle surface variation and restrained glaze movement highlight the handmade character without distraction. This teapot is made to live on the counter, not in a cabinet—equally suited to a quiet morning or sharing tea with friends. As with all Produce Station pieces, each kyuusu is crafted individually, resulting in small variations that make every teapot one of a kind. Handcrafted stoneware. Variations in form, glaze, and surface are part of the handmade process and celebrated as such.
