Good product but long wait time for delivery to US. Because of wrenches thrown into trade wheels by Trump administration, my order was held in custom clearance stage for weeks. Akazuki was awesome. They replied my message and the item was well packaged. Top notch Japanese item and customer service.
Thank you

- High-Fire Porcelain Longevity: Crafted from Arita's legendary dense porcelain stone, these pieces feature a sturdy structure that naturally retains optimal water temperatures.
• Washing Instructions (Hand Wash Only): To permanently preserve the delicate hand-applied colors, light blue glazes, and artist signature, never wash this set in a dishwasher. Hand wash gently with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge.
• Appliance Restrictions: Do not place inside microwave ovens, conventional baking ovens, or broilers. Never place the teapot directly over an open stovetop flame or gas burner to heat water.
• Artisan Characteristics: Because this set is individually shaped and glazed from natural minerals, minor variations in pattern depth, color tone, and physical size are expected and reflect its unique handcrafted origin.
