Signed Studio Pottery Teapot – Japanese Kyūsu-Inspired Stoneware – Mid 20th Century This is a hand-thrown studio pottery teapot, made in high-fired stoneware and inspired by traditional Japanese kyūsu tea vessels. The form features a low, rounded body with side spout and loop handle, designed for practical tea brewing. The surface shows natural firing variation with earthy ash and iron tones, characteristic of Japanese and Japan-influenced studio ceramics. The base bears a hand-brushed potter’s mark / monogram, applied directly to the clay before firing. This is an individual artist’s signature, not a factory stamp, confirming studio production rather than mass manufacture. The overall aesthetic and construction point to mid-20th-century studio pottery, likely Japanese or Scandinavian studio work influenced by Japanese ceramic traditions. A strong, honest example of functional ceramic art intended for use and appreciation. ⸻ Signature / Mark Hand-brushed monogram under base. Attributed to an individual studio potter.
