Icchin Shippo Kiyomizu-yaki Teapot - 275ml
This elegant Kiyomizu-yaki porcelain dobin (top-handle teapot) is made in a classic shape and is hand-decorated with the auspicious shippo (七宝) crest using the icchin (イッチン) technique. Icchin involves loading slip (liquid clay) into a piping bag, and trailing it onto the pot to create designs with dimension. On this piece, each shippo-mon is further accented by alternating dots of silver and gold at their centre. The elegantly curved top handle is made from brass which matches these gold dots.
This dobin was made by Takashima Shinichi (高島 慎一) of Kōshun Kiln (洸春窯), a third generation potter who specialises in cochin-style wares (kōchi-yaki).
