HANDMADE JAPANESE KATAKUCHI POURING VESSEL | GION SAKURA | TOUSENGAMA 陶泉窯

Bring the elegance of Kyoto craftsmanship to your table with this Handmade Japanese Gion Sakura Pouring Vessel, expertly crafted by Tousen Kiln in Kyoto, Japan. Inspired by the graceful weeping cherry blossoms of Kyoto's historic Gion district, this handcrafted pouring vessel features delicate cascading sakura on a soft ivory glaze, capturing the timeless beauty of spring through authentic Kiyomizu Ware (Kyo-yaki) craftsmanship.

Founded in the early Meiji era, Tousen Kiln began as a Kiyomizu ware wholesaler before establishing its own kiln to create handcrafted ceramics. Using the traditional clay and glazes of Kyoto's Kiyomizu ware, each piece reflects generations of Japanese ceramic artistry while combining timeless elegance with practical everyday use.

Inspired by the traditional Japanese katakuchi form, this versatile pouring vessel is ideal for serving tea, sauces, dressings, dipping broths or small side dishes. The carefully shaped pouring spout allows for smooth, controlled pouring, while its elegant form makes it equally suitable as a decorative piece or part of a refined Japanese table setting.

Each piece is individually handcrafted and hand-finished, resulting in subtle variations in glaze, colour and hand-painted decoration that celebrate the authentic beauty of Japanese pottery.
