Jinshu Mogake Teapot - 130ml

Jinshu Mogake Teapot - 130ml

.

A classic teapot by master Jinshu - Seiji Ito. A precisely crafted teapot by a renowned master with Mogake decoration, which was developed in the 19th century. Before firing, the teapot is coated with Amamo seaweed, and during firing in the kiln, a reaction occurs between the minerals in the seaweed and the surface of the teapot. The result is a unique “burnt” pattern, see photo. This may vary slightly on each teapot, as they are originals.

The teapot has a capacity of 130 ml. It has a precisely crafted strainer of unusual size with fine perforations.

Another unique piece in the wide range of top quality Japanese ceramics.
