This square teapot stand, handcrafted by renowned Japanese Hagi ware master Ryuji Matsuno, is made from traditional coarse pottery using the wood-fired technique. It measures 21.5 cm in length and width, and 3.5 cm in height. The body has a white glaze base with naturally formed black splatter-like patterns and brownish-yellow kiln variations, unique effects left by the flames and ash during wood-fired firing. The bottom is engraved with the artist's signature, "Matsuno Ryuji." This teapot stand comes with its original wooden box, inscribed with "Hana-ko, Shihō-sō," and includes relevant documentation. Its overall design is simple and elegant, combining practicality for tea ceremony use with aesthetic value as a ceramic piece, making it suitable as a key vessel for tea ceremonies or for collectors of Japanese art.
