 This rather large iron-glazed tea caddy could be mistaken for an iron-glazed goji, but there is no doubt that it was made as a tea caddy, as it was carefully iron-glazed using grandmother’s bosai clay, leaving the base unglazed. The old seto axis is not very shiny and “uneven,” and cannot be considered a success.
