Chinese Kyusu Jade

Very nice Chinese Jade Kyusu.   The Kyusu was originally invented in China where it is called a Jíxū.   The design was later adopted and refined by Japanese potters and while almost disappering in China it is dominating now the Japanese market. 

The Chinese Kyusu has a build in strainer but since the Chinese tea leaves are larger in size than the finer Japanese teas, it can not keep the smaller Japanese leaves from from eg. fine Gyokuros.  In that case a strainer should be used when pouring the tea.

Be aware that the color of the Kyusu is slightly lighter green in real life than on the photos
