This is a Japanese Zangzhen Kiln teapot with a handle. It measures 13.5cm in height and 8cm in width, with a capacity of 250ml. It comes in its original box and is in perfect condition. As an antique Japanese item, it inevitably shows signs of age, wear, scratches, dents, and oxidation. These are normal phenomena. Due to limitations in the production techniques of the time, small bumps, bubbles, black spots, and glaze spots may appear during the firing process; these are basic characteristics of antique items. Zangzhen Kiln (蔵珍窯 in Japanese) is a typical example of Gifu region "Mino ware." "Mino ware" is a term that emerged after the Meiji Restoration; its predecessor was "Seto ware," one of Japan's six ancient kilns. Zangzhen Kiln is relatively young, founded in 1970, with only 45 years of history. Today, it serves as the official kiln for the Gifu Prefectural Shrine Office. Each Zangzhen piece carries not only color, but also the marks of time. It is precisely because the glaze of Zangzhen is so precious that Zangzhen's glaze is not soaked or sprayed, but is all made by hand on the same day. The precious glaze is used in a precious way. Admittedly, it is not as even as soaking or spraying, but it carries the warmth of craftsmanship.
