That's the gold. My favorite
Teapot from hojo
i ordered this one finally. It says its from Sado, see signature. Wondering if it's an authentic one. " This set comes in the original box (last photo). The writing in black says, "Sado Mumyoi pottery" (last photo, bottom). The red stamp on top right also says Sado Mymyoi. The potter's seal in red at bottom left says, "Yoshito"."

I don't see a picture of the box. Also yoshito is 芳人 I think. That sign on the bottom says something else I think
Sorry I forgot to attach. What did I buy? will update after I receive it.

Okay so I see now it is 吉陶, which is also yoshito you were right - sorry. I think it can also be kichito?
And the box does say mumyoi.
No idea who yoshito / kichito is but I see some of his tea bowls on various auction sites. Could also be a kiln name. Let us know how you like it
As you realize from hojo, there are plenty of different clays on sado island with different properties. This pot is probably going to act differently from the tozo pots that hojo sells
Just realized the upper right seal outline shape looks a little like the shape of .sado island where mumyoi is from.

So I just received my teapot today. I'm noticing too much shine on the outside. I always thought that glazed on the outside meant artificially added iron, no?
I hope I did not waste 150 euro...
Attached the pictures. The side by side also with a teapot by murata yoshiki to just see the glaze difference.

The clay is burnished, not glazed. Burnishing takes additional time by rubbing the clay with a hard object, compressing the clay.
