Both the teapot and the cups are decorated with inlaid cranes, which symbolize immortality. Korean celadon pottery was well known throughout history, and this crane pattern is the most famous design for Korean celadon. All of the components of this tea set are thick-walled, so the set is slightly heavy, setting it apart from cheaply made pottery. The potter paid great attention to detail in creating the painted design on the tea set. This celadon tea set is truly a fine example of Korean celadon pottery skills.

Goryeo Celadon
Celadon is a type of jade-green porcelain. Production of this type of ceramic ware reached its height during the Goryeo Dynasty(918∼1392) in Korea, and it is therefore commonly referred to as Goryeo celadon. The clay used to make celadon pots contains trace amounts of iron, and after a pot is thrown, it is covered with a glaze which also contains iron and is fired at a temperature exceeding 1,200 degrees Celsius. The purity of glaze with its unsurpassed jewel-like green color and its achievement in diverse decorative technique such as inlaid, carving, moulding, underglaze painting, sculpting, incising and openwork make Goryeo celadon stands out as the best among its contemporaneous Chinese and Japanese products.

Tokoname Pottery
The teapot was made in Tokoname city, which has a 900-year-long history and tradition of pottery-making and is well known throughout Japan. In Japan, there are six ancient kilns – Tokoname, Seto, Echizen, Shigaraki, Tanba, and Bizen – and Tokoname has the oldest and largest of them. Tea lovers believed that teas have a sweeter, mellower flavour when brewed in clay teapots. This fact, combined with high-quality craftsmanship and design, makes Tokoname teapots popular among Japanese green-tea lovers.
Kyusu
The design aesthetic of these side-handled teapots is based on the premise of ease-of-use. Simply twist the bar-style handle! You will be fascinated by how much easier it is to pour tea. Also, the hollow handles are comfortable to grasp as they do not become too hot. The interior of these teapots usually includes very fine mesh strainers that prevent tea leaves from pouring into the teacups. Interiors made of fine, slightly porous clays are often left unglazed so as to retain the aroma of tea. Kyusu teapots are used in Japan for daily tea-drinking.
