Japanese Kyusu teapot with side handle by master Seiho - Tsuzuki Takao.

Kyusu decorated using the Hidasuki method and with an embossed pattern around the circumference of the teapot. I have not had the honor of seeing another Hidasuki teapot by master Seiha. 

The teapot is perfectly shaped and has a large, precise strainer. An exceptional piece.
