It was only exhibited in private themed shows of modern wood‑fired tea‑ware and has never been consigned to public auctions.Description：This wood‑fired side‑handle kyusu teapot represents functional East‑Asian tea‑ceramic art. It features plump rounded body, short spout and flared long side‑handle for comfortable pouring, fitted with flat lid and small knob with tight closure. Natural wood‑ash glaze generates spontaneous mixed tones of off‑white, beige and russet‑brown accented by streaks of blue kiln‑flame effect. Rough layered texture comes from high‑temperature melting of wood ash without artificially prepared glaze formula, making each wood‑fired piece absolutely one‑of‑a‑kind. Well‑proportioned form balances practical brewing function and aesthetic charm, embodying the modern wood‑fired aesthetic of celebrating natural fire‑born effects. Ideal for tea‑table display and daily use. It provides valuable reference for studying modern wood‑firing craft and East‑Asian tea culture, highly valued by tea‑ware collectors from California, Texas and Hong Kong.
