Here is my teapot, short and stout...what a charming piece from Japan. Slight crazing, photo 4, no chips.Measures about 9 in long x 7 in tall
The Japanese tea ceremony is a ritual rooted in Zen Buddhism in which matcha is prepared and served to guests in a calm and tranquil environment. In Japan, the host performs the tea ceremony wearing a kimono on a tatami, or woven straw mat. A formal tea ceremony can take up to 5 hours may include serving sweets and other food in addition to matcha
Still a great piece without involving the ceremony!
Materials: ceramic.
