Like all Asahi-yaki pieces, it is made with exceeding attention to detail. For example, the lip (the ledge on which the lid rests) features a '3-day moon'-crescent shaped extension above the filter which prevents leaks when pouring, and a setback on the rear side which aids in removing the used tea leaves. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade by the world-renowned pottery workshop in Uji (near Kyoto) that dates back 16 generations and was founded over 400 years ago. While today they make a variety of high-quality ceramics, they were founded solely to perfect teaware for use in Japanese tea ceremonies. Today, the kiln is run by 15th generation potter Housai Matsubayashi and his son Yuusuke.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11.4cm (4.5in) - width\u003cbr\u003e6.4cm (2.5in) - height\u003cbr\u003e100ml - capacity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very good\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Japanese item ships from the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548316164140,"sku":"US-H15","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/1BXMCd0yp2hI5AwtR37d0R9x8IDr8fwCW.jpg?v=1779029394","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/japanese-houhin-asahi-yaki-beige-hakeme-handleless-teapot-100ml","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
