Shaped like a dobin, this teapot has a beautifully crafted vine handle.
The faint vertical"kushime"(comb lines) marks are made using a special comb-like tool and give the piece added depth.
Mizuno Hiroshi blends his own original clay in a process taking up to six months. He also pays special attention to producing the perfect ceramic filter, crafting each one individually to fit a particular teapot.

Hiroshi learned his craft from Yamada Jozan III, a National Living Treasure.

Built-in handcrafted ceramic mesh filter.
Handcrafted in Tokoname, Japan by Hiroshi (Mr. Mizuno Hiroshi)
