There are works by "Third Generation," "Fourth Generation," etc. The third generation pursued detailed diamond cuts. "Iroku Kiln" is a Banko ware (Banko-yaki) kiln located in Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture, and is famous for making teapots. The finishing technique called diamond cut is also an original of Iroku Kiln. It is a very labor-intensive work, and it can take half a day to finish one teapot. Its brilliance and beauty, which is hard to believe is made of clay, fascinates both those who see it and those who use it. It is a decoration that is cut (carved) into the clay, and the light creates a shine. I have heard that it is very rare. Features of Diamond Cut Teapots Beauty as decoration: The carved patterns are neatly arranged like tortoiseshell, or fine diamond (rhombus) patterns are applied to the surface, and it has a shimmering texture when exposed to light, and the shadows are very three-dimensional and shine beautifully. It is said that the luster and texture increase the more you use it. We will ship via Rakuraku Mercari Bin or Yu-Yu Mercari Bin. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Thank you.
