Ceramists Water Rod - By Osamu Futami, Handmade in Japan

Osamu Futami's ceramic water rods are quiet objects with a strong presence. Handmade in Japan, each rod is individually formed and glazed — designed to sit in a water vessel and gradually release trace minerals for a softer, rounder taste. As much sculpture as functional tool, they bring something thoughtful to the ritual of water and coffee. The kind of object that rewards slow attention.
