I am using other hotaru-yaki (pierced ware), so I am listing this item as it has been stored new and unused. This is a set of a teapot and 5 teacups with a pierced floral pattern. When you pour tea, the pierced pattern becomes even clearer and is very beautiful. I believe the smooth texture is a characteristic of delicate Arita ware. The teapot is more like a teapot, and the round body with a large handle is very charming. I hesitated to part with it because of its cuteness. The pure white vessels should enhance the color and aroma of the tea. The green of new tea and herbal teas like rosehip will also be even more vibrant in color and aroma. The wave design of the spout is also a delicate detail unique to Arita ware, which is rare in other pottery. It says Arita ware, Sankyo Kiln. Please check the photos for the size. This item has been stored for a long time without being used. It will be shipped in its original box. Please understand that shipping costs will be considerable.
