Showcasing the elegance of Sometsuke-style white porcelain, this teapot is adorned with intricate hand-painted blue motifs created using gosu cobalt pigment. This exquisite piece is the result of a collaboration between Junzo Maekawa, who crafted the teapot, and his wife, Taeko Maekawa painted the delicate motifs. The teapot's timeless blue and white charm is further accentuated by the detailed painting on the underside of the lid, adding to its feminine allure.
