Brand new, unused! This is a "Shizuku" teapot by Katsufumi Baba. Katsufumi Baba is a ceramic artist who has a studio in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture. One of the most distinctive features of his work is the combination of "wood" and "pottery" in his teapots. The teapots come with a tea strainer and have excellent water drainage, making them not only beautiful in design but also highly functional. The wooden handle is made of teak, one of the world's three most famous hardwoods. Teak is well-known as a shipbuilding material, is very water-resistant and durable, and is known as a high-quality wood. This round, white ceramic teapot with a wooden handle is unique. Just placing it on the table will double its cuteness. I purchased this at a solo exhibition in a distant location, but I am selling it due to moving. Please let me know if you would like to purchase other tableware items together. Thank you for looking.
