Source Description
Side-handled teapots known as <em>kyūsu</em> and hot water coolers, or <em>yuzamashi</em>, are essential components of <em>sencha</em> tea sets. The teapot is, of course, meant for steeping and serving the tea. <em>Yuzamashi</em> are used to cool boiled water to the ideal temperature for the type of tea to be brewed. <br><br>This teapot has a pine in underglaze blue on each side. The tip of one of these pines reaches onto the tiny lid, and as with the trees on the <em>Water Cooler with Pines, </em><a href="http://www.clevelandart.org/art/2022.163"><u>CMA 2022.163</u></a><u>,</u> the trunks are curvy ribbons with little definition. Considering the execution of their designs, one might imagine the pot and cooler to have been part of the same set.
