Rare teaware for everyday life This is a Houhin (side-handleless teapot) curated by Seinosuke Nakajima, an antique dealer and art appraiser. A Houhin is a teapot without a side handle, ideal for brewing teas like gyokuro that require low-temperature water to slowly extract their umami flavors. This piece was crafted in the 1990s and is now available as deadstock, as it can no longer be produced due to technical limitations and other factors. As there will be no restocking, please consider this opportunity if you're interested. Savor your tea time The capacity is about 60ml when filled to 80%.This is enough to brew one cup for a regular tea cup or two cups for small sencha bowls. Part of the Houhin's charm is being able to open the lid to check the condition of the tea leaves and determine the perfect brewing time.It's perfect for savoring tea at a leisurely pace while enjoying conversation.
