## Description
Thank you very much for viewing this product among many auctions.

This is a very beautiful pure silver teapot (ginbako) featuring a delicate "tsuchime (hammered)" finish crafted by skilled artisans. Depending on the light, the hammered texture changes its expression like a kaleidoscope, making it a true work of art.

【Product Features】
- Luxurious pure silver: Enjoy the distinct weightiness characteristic of silver.
- Artisan hammering: The evenly struck hammered texture is beautiful and has a hand-friendly shape.
- Elegant plum bud lid: The lid's knob mimics a lovely "plum bud," adding a refined design element to your tea ceremony.
- Practical size: Weighing about 120.66g, it’s perfect for elegant tea time for one or a small group.

【Condition】
There are signs of silver-specific discoloration (tarnish) due to age, but there are no major dents or fatal damage, and it is in very good condition as an antique vintage item. Polishing will enhance its shine, but the current "settled texture that evokes a sense of time" is also exceptional. Please check the images for details.

【Specifications】
- Material: Pure silver
- Weight: Approximately 120.66g
- Accessories: Body and lid (everything shown in the pictures)

## Collector note
This exquisite pure silver hand-hammered teapot reflects the craftsmanship intrinsic to Japan's tea culture, particularly valued by collectors of artisan silverware. The delicate "tsuchime" texture not only showcases the quality of the maker's work but also aligns with the aesthetic preferences of those who appreciate traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. Given its vintage condition with minor tarnishing, it holds strong potential for collectors who prioritize both the beauty of historical craftsmanship and the rarity associated with authentic pure silver pieces. This item, with its elegant plum bud lid and practical size, offers a unique charm that artfully bridges functionality with collectible artistry.
