This is a teapot made by an artist. \\\ The spout is chipped /// I fell in love with its round, plump shape and bought this teapot made by an artist. I purchased it at a small general goods store in Kagurazaka, Tokyo. I used it about 5 or 6 times, and while tidying up, I lightly bumped it, and the spout broke. The chipped part fits almost perfectly, so I was planning to repair it with kintsugi, but it has been left as it is for a long time, so I think I will let it go. I am hesitant, so please forgive me if I suddenly stop the listing. Please be sure to agree to the following: ・It is broken. ・I have used it a few times. ・There are tea stains near the spout that look like cracks. ・Overall, it has a texture that looks like it originally had cracks. ・I will pack it as carefully as possible, but since the chip is at the tip, there is a possibility of additional chipping during transportation. I am sorry, but please purchase only if you keep this in mind. ・Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a beautiful item. Please purchase only if you understand that it is an old item that has been in someone's hands. ◆About Shipping Method I may change between Rakuraku Mercari Bin and Yuuyu Mercari Bin after purchase. If you have a preference, please consult with me before purchasing. ◆About Packaging I will make it as compact as possible and reuse packing materials I have at home. Please understand that it will be a simple package.
