Up for sale is a beautiful vintage Japanese "Bunbuku Chagama" figural ceramic dobin teapot. This piece brings to life the classic Japanese folklore tale of the shape-shifting Tanuki (raccoon dog) caught in mid-transformation into a tea kettle.
Features:
- Vibrant, drip-glazed Majolica-style finish in shades of amber-brown, turquoise, and emerald green.
- Heavily textured, dimpled body mimicking the tanuki's fur.
- Whittled overhead woven rattan/bamboo handle.
- Whimsical tanuki head forming the pour spout.
The item will be heavily wrapped in bubble wrap and secured inside an adequately sized corrugated box to help ensure a safe delivery.
