I was watching on this because it looks cute. But I forgot to bid on it during my busy weekend.

But I am still curious about this, what are this kind of Japanese teapots made of? Same, similar or totally different clay materials from those Chinese yixing teapots? Do Japanese people use them for oolong tea or other kinds of teas?

Re: What are Japanese "yixing style" clay teapots
Tokoname is Japanese style Yixing. The older one from 1860s feels and looks like Yixing teapot, and the patina build-up have the similar effects also.gingko wrote:I was watching on this because it looks cute. But I forgot to bid on it during my busy weekend.

Interesting! The white mud kyusu is very cute! And the other two pots look very similar to Chinese pots.TIM wrote:Tokoname is Japanese style Yixing.

Chip, I am not really sure if it's Japanese. The big fish on the lid looks a bit Japanese to me. But yeah it could be a Chinese pot.
