Elegant, White Porcelain Hōhin Set With Three Cups | 150 ml, Japan

STYLE

Porcelain hōhin teapot (hōhin/houhin, 宝瓶) with three small-footed cups, in the decorative box of Bikouen from Kyoto. This one-and-a-half-deciliter hōhin teapot is perhaps the most practical in terms of capacity, as it can be used alone, yet it can accommodate up to three guests. Ceremonial Japanese white porcelain set for preparing green teas.
