Chadei (brown) kyusu teapot by Yoshiki A beautifully crafted teapot with many interesting details, such as the contrasting lid, the spiral design on the spout and the neatly nicked pattern around the base. Because of the rustic nature of the design, some unexpected incidents do occur. For example, as coarse sand is mixed in with the clay to acheive a grainy finish, tiny lumps may become detached from the surface leaving what first appear to be chips. This is however a completely natural phenomenon. Note also that the raised rim around the handle turns inwards at one point. This sometimes happens during firing and does not affect the functionability of the teapot. Rather than detracting from the teapot's appearance, these features add an extra dimension and serve as a charming reminder that the pot is completely hand made and unique.
Handcrafted by Tokoname craftsman Yoshiki, who has won numerous awards for his tea ware. Length (body + handle): Approx. 4.4" (11.4cm),
Height: Approx. 2.7" (7cm) US$225.00 (Shipping charges not included) |
