Bauhaus kyusu designed by Matthias Kaiser
Bauhaus-style kyusu with wengé wood handle. A kyusu is a type of teapot with the handle attached sideways. It is widely used in Japan and Korea, especially for green tea.
It´s not very well known that the Bauhaus movement also influenced the ceramics scene in 1920´s Germany. But some, like Otto Lindig, were inspired and produced very interesting work. This teapot is a variation of a Lindig design.
It´s a complex piece that´s assembled from a total of 6 parts plus the handle. The body has been closed with a slab and reopened where the protruding turret that holds the lid meets it.
