This is an old kyusu teapot, but it has a nice atmosphere. It has been used several times, so there are some minor scratches and wear and tear from use. This was given to me over 30 years ago by someone in Iruma who has been handling tea caddies for many years. I can't find a matching box, but it is definitely a genuine item.
