Hasami ware Fukusho kiln powder-glazed hand-painted dahlia teapot

Hasami Town in Nagasaki Prefecture is one of Japan's leading "pottery towns," boasting a 400-year tradition. Semi-porcelain, which combines the characteristics of both porcelain and ceramics, is made by applying powdered glaze to brown clay to create a white base, then carefully hand-painting each piece. The petals are depicted using the white base, while the white space is filled in for a bold, modern design. As this is hand-painted, slight variations in color and pattern may occur. Size: Approx. 13cm W x 13cm D x 8cm H Weight: Approx. 400g Material: Ceramic Country of Origin: Japan
