Shun-en II Butterfly Kyusu - 250 ml

Shun-en II Butterfly Kyusu - 250 ml

 .

Masterpiece by Mr. Mano Shun-en II, born in 1950 in Tokoname city, father is Shun-en I.

It is a double-walled teapot. It took several years before Shun-en II was able to make a double-walled teapot, preceded by many years of research and experimentation. Not only the design, but also the clay and the firing itself were carefully tuned.

It is a combination of yellow and green clay, each with different properties and different shrinkage rates during firing, and it is clear that he went through many failures in firing before achieving this result. The colours are chosen to match each other and the result is a perfect, charming teapot.

It is a complete one man job, preparing the design, researching and preparing the clay, also the subsequent engraving. There are not many potters who master all these crafts.

Truly a masterpiece for a collection, let's say an investment piece. This is of course an original and there is only 1 piece in stock. Packed in a wooden box see photo.
