Teapot Capacity: 380ml [Gift Box Specification: Comes in a special paper box] *Includes tea strainer Country of origin: Japan (Ishikawa Prefecture), Material: Ceramics (Kutani ware) Kutani ware x Kanazawa gold leaf. Kanazawa accounts for 98% of the national production of gold leaf, and a remarkable 100% of silver leaf (Kanazawa gold leaf). Finishing gold leaf to a uniform thickness without losing its luster, down to 1/10,000th of a millimeter, is extremely difficult and requires skilled craftsmanship. The artisans' skill in stretching a coin-sized piece to the size of a tatami mat, combined with the humid climate with its abundant rain and snow and excellent water quality, are the secrets to Kanazawa gold leaf's high quality. This piece beautifully fuses the traditional crafts of Kaga, a region with 360 years of Kutani ware and 400 years of Kanazawa gold leaf. Kutani ware is highly regarded worldwide as one of Japan's three major types of overglaze enamel porcelain, and as a representative traditional craft of Japan, known as "Japan Kutani."
