Tokoname Ware, Vermilion Clay Round Teapot, Teapot, Tea Ceremony Utensils This was previously received as a housewarming gift, and there is an inscription on the bottom (in fact, a name is also engraved). It has never been used to brew tea, but it has been stored without its box, so there are signs of scuffing on the bottom and other areas. We ask for your understanding before purchasing.
