AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A distinguished pair of Japanese tin teapots (kyusu), accompanied by their original wooden storage box (tomobako), reflecting the refined metalworking tradition of Kyoto.
These pieces are crafted from high-purity tin, as indicated by the seal "Jun-Suzu" (Pure Tin) and "Kyo-Suzu Genzo" (Kyoto Tin Source/Make) on the base. Tin is highly prized in Japanese tea culture for its ability to purify water and enhance the flavor of tea.
The teapots feature a classic rounded form with a sturdy, integrated metal handle that arches gracefully over the body. The surface possesses a soft, satin luster that has developed a subtle patina over time, adding to its vintage charm. The spouts are designed for precise pouring, ensuring a smooth tea experience.
Each detail reflects careful craftsmanship, from the seamless construction to the perfectly fitted lids. The presence of the original wooden box confirms their provenance as a preserved set.
Condition:
Very good vintage condition. The metal shows signs of age-appropriate patina and minor surface scratches consistent with use, but there are no dents or structural damage. The handles are secure.
Dimensions:
• Diameter: approx. [4] cm
• Height (with handle): approx. [17] cm
Measurements are approximate and provided for reference. Please refer to the photos for further details.
The item will be carefully packed to ensure safe international delivery, using protective materials and secure packaging methods. Dispatch may take a few days due to handling and postal arrangements in Japan, and your patience is greatly appreciated.
