Banko Seven Sages kyusu by Jitsuzan II with Rattle knob

An unused piece in mint condition from a tea vendor's private collection.
A finely crafted Banko kyusu teapot by Jitsuzan, featuring a detailed relief of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.
A distinctive detail of this piece is the small clay ball enclosed within the hollow knob and handle. It produces a gentle rattling sound when moved — a subtle and playful feature that also demonstrates a high level of craftsmanship.
