• Dobinmushi Design: Rather than standard tea service, this specialized teapot configuration is traditionally used to serve Dobin Mushi, a prized autumn delicacy where matsutake mushrooms, chicken, shrimp, and ginkgo nuts are simmered in a delicate dashi broth.
• The Ritual: The savory broth is poured out from the spout into the small cup to be sipped first, while the ingredients inside are plucked out and eaten directly from the pot using chopsticks.
• Aesthetic Finish: It features a rustic Nanban glaze style, showcasing a distressed, metallic, charcoal-and-bronze iron finish. A hand-carved geometric zigzag ring pattern adds crisp architectural contrast around its shoulders.
• Functional Elements: The body is built from coarse, thermal-resistant clay intended for gentle stove-top warming, crowned by a thick, heat-insulated woven split-cane handle.
