Shunzan Umehara Nerikomi Kyusu - 250ml

Shunzan Umehara Nerikomi Kyusu - 250ml

.

A unique vintage nerikomi teapot with a capacity of 250 ml, made by master Shunzan Umehara. This teapot has a very fine metal strainer, which is used for teas containing small particles, especially Fukamushi Sencha.

I do not know the exact date of birth of this old master, but he was the teacher of Master Shoson Sawada, who was born in 1937, so I assume that he was at least 20-30 years older when he had his students, meaning he was born around 1900-1910.

A very precise old piece of work, a very nice size, a unique nerikomi teapot.

Only one piece available, you will receive the item shown in the photos.

Maintenance: do not use detergents, dishwasher. Clean by hand, with clean water, without chemicals. Do not clean with clean detergents. The teapot should be left to dry after each use. Ideally, specify the teapot for the specific type of tea for which it will always be used.
