Teapot Spout Brush (Brass)

A small tool that solves a problem you didn't know had a solution.

The inside of a teapot spout is one of those hard-to-reach places — sponges can't get there, and over time tea residue and water stains quietly accumulate. AZMAYA designed this spout brush specifically for that spot. The ferrule is brass — corrosion-resistant, so it holds up in wet conditions — and the bristle head is natural hemp palm fiber. The silk braid strap is made in Uji, Kyoto — a detail that turns a cleaning tool into a small object worth keeping on the shelf.

To use: slip the cover over the spout, push the bristles through, and work them around the inside of the strainer. It fits the AZMAYA kyusu spout perfectly, but works with most standard teapot openings.

AZMAYA is a Tokyo-based design brand that develops functional objects through close collaboration with craftspeople across Japan. This spout broom brings together three materials — a brass ring formed by metalworkers in the Tsubame-Sanjo district, a handle wrapped in palm fiber (棕櫚, shuro) shaped by brush makers, and bristles of raw silk — each sourced from specialists in their respective craft.

The brass ring is turned and finished by hand; the shuro fiber handle is wrapped tightly in the manner of traditional Japanese brushes; the silk bristles are selected for stiffness and resilience appropriate to cleaning a spout without scratching. The result is a tool made with the same attention to material logic that AZMAYA applies across its entire range.
