Jinshu Vintage Diamond Cut Yohen Kyusu Set - 350ml, 5*120ml

Jinshu Vintage Diamond Cut Yohen Kyusu Set - 350ml, 5*12

 .

A very elegant vintage kyusu set by master Jinshu—Seiji Ito. Unusually for Jinshu, he used the diamond-cut method, and the teapot features a delicate and beautiful yohen overglaze. The set also includes five 120-ml cups with a white interior glaze, which beautifully brings out the tea’s color.

An original and unconventional set that already falls into the vintage category; you’d be hard-pressed to find another one like it anywhere in the world. The precise craftsmanship, as is customary for this master, is evident at first glance. You will receive the piece shown in the photo—there are no others available.

Another unique piece in our wide selection of top-quality Japanese ceramics. The package also includes a signed box and a certificate.
