Description from the seller
Item Description
An antique copper hot water kettle (yuwakashi) with cloisonné decoration applied overall. Fine metal wires and enamel glazes depict a floral arabesque pattern in blue, light blue, red, white, and green. The design reflects the elegance of Chinese art. The body features a minutely stippled ground, and the spout is decorated with a ring-shaped pattern. The lid knob is openwork. The interior surface of the lid is also entirely covered with light blue cloisonné, demonstrating careful finishing even on parts that remain hidden when the lid is closed. Although unsigned, the intricate design reveals a high level of metalworking skill. Fitted with a bail handle, this is an ornamental piece suited to those who appreciate Asian metalwork and cloisonné.

Seller's Story
We have been experienced as an antique dealer for more than a decade, we select and purchase high-quality products from all over Japan. I carefully select items with good taste, whether famous or not. I offer you an encounter with unknown Japanese goods.
Owner Profile
Name: Michito Nagahiro
Born in 1986 in Sapporo, Hokkaido. From an early age, I have been fascinated by the beautiful and practical designs of Japanese art, antiques, and consumer products, as well as the mindset and dedication of craftsmen and artists. I frequently visited museums and solo exhibitions as part of my daily life.
In 2012, under the guidance of a top mentor in the industry, I established myself as an antique dealer, handling a wide range of items, including Japanese antiques and artworks. Since 2017, I have specialized in selling Japanese antiques and fine art, primarily in Europe, achieving over 20,000 successful sales to date.
In 2019, I launched a completely free service to support individuals in Japan who experience loneliness. This initiative involves personally visiting people, engaging in conversations, sharing meals, and, if necessary, providing career advice. More than 1,000 people reach out to me annually for support.
Additionally, I am committed to promoting and supporting the sales of emerging artists whose work has not yet received public recognition. My philosophy goes beyond merely selling objects—I strive to convey the stories, history, and emotions embedded in each piece. By doing so, I aim to connect people with the lives of the artists and bring inspiration to those who encounter their work.
