This is one of only two tea pots that Harada Shuroku has ever made; he's well-known for non-handled small tea pourers called hohin, yet a tea pot is something he told me he will stop at two. Why? He's not in the best of health and it took too much energy and time. Here's hoping he feels stronger soon to possibly make more as never has Bizen had such an Aladdin masterpiece as this, never. From the coiled handle to the pleated spout, everything is balanced and harmonizes in form and color. Just gazing upon this piece is quite relaxing, and then there' that cup of tea.....In perfect condition with a signed box, 11.5cm.tall and 20cm.long from back of handle to tip of spout.
