Selling a wood fired Konishi Yohei Kyusu Tokoname Teapot. About 200ml capacity and has been used only a few times with high quality sencha.

Asking $675, and a good home with someone who will appreciate it.

It is in perfect condition and is beautifully made. Only problem is that I bought too many need to make room in my collection.

Please let me know if you would like any information or extra photos of the item. Or know anyone interested.

Located in San Francisco but will ship within the US and possibly internationally if necessary.
