This delicate and elegant Kiyomizu-yaki porcelain houhin (handleless teapot) is made in a classic shape and is hand-decorated with the auspicious shippo (七宝) crest using the icchin (イッチン) technique. Icchin involves loading slip (liquid clay) into a piping bag, and trailing it onto the pot to create designs with dimension. On this piece, each shippo-mon is further accented by alternating dots of silver and gold at their centre. Like most houhin, it has a wide, triangular open spout which allows for fast pouring, a simple ceramic do-ake filter which lends no metallic taste to the tea.

This houhin was made by Takashima Shinichi (高島 慎一) of Kōshun Kiln (洸春窯), a third generation potter who specialises in cochin-style wares (kōchi-yaki).

Kiyomizu-yaki (清水焼) (also called Shimizu-yaki) is a type of Japanese pottery that traditionally comes from Gojōzaka district near Kiyomizu Temple, in Kyoto, Japan. A subset of Kyo-yaki which refers to all pottery made in the Kyoto area, Kiyomizu ware has been produced since the 16th century
