Vintage Handmade Japanese Clay Teapot (no lid), W/Colorful Asian Design

This glazed, handmade teapot was owned by a Japanese friend who gave it to us. She said she bought it in Japan in the late1950’s. The lid was lost (or perhaps broken) over the many years we have had it. This uniquely designed clay tea pot holds 20 ounces of liquid. It measures approximately 3 3/4 inches high and 5 ¼ inches wide. It has two handles on either side of the pot opening. There are no makers marks on the bottom. (See photos.) It is used, but in fine condition. It would be wonderful for a tea pot collector, for decoration or a small plant container. It is quite possible to buy another lid from vendors on-line.
