Tea caddy - A tea caddy is a container for holding strong tea.

Tea caddies include Chinese-made Tang ware, Japanese-made Wadan ware, and Shimamono ware fired in Southeast Asia.
Various names
There are many shapes, such as Eggplant, Bun'yu, Shiribari, Marutsubo, Oumi, Uchiumi, Kokatatsuki, Napedkatatsuki, Tsurukubi, and Senkusa.
What to look out for in a tea caddy

The shape of the tea caddy can be determined by the mouth, copper expression (glaze avalanche, glaze dew, glaze edge), or copper navy blue.
Various methods of cutting thread
The thread cutter for Chinese items is a left-handed thread cutter (reverse thread cutter).
Japanese thread cutting is clockwise (normal thread cutting)
Other concentric thread cutters include vortex thread cutter and blade thread cutter.
The lid of the tea caddy is made of ivory. It is said that ivory can eliminate poison. The inside of the lid is also covered in gold, which is said to eliminate poison.

<Various lids> We have scooped lids, straight-line lids, bottle lids, serving lids, etc.

Japanese tea caddies can be broadly divided into Seto ware and Kuni ware.
Seto tea caddies are made in the original kilns, but those fired in other kilns are called Kuni-yaki, which means side ware.
Seto tea caddies were first made in Seto kilns, imitating Chinese tea caddies.
"Kuniyaki" includes "Takatori", "Satsuma", "Ueno", "Karatsu", "Zose", "Shidoro", etc.
In addition to the Six Ancient Kilns of Tamba, Iga, Bizen, Shigaraki, etc., there are also masterpieces from Ninsei.
Takatori tea caddies began when the Korean potter Hachizan opened a kiln in Takatori, Fukuoka, and during the Edo period, Japanese-style caddies were made under the guidance of Kobori Enshu.

A "shifuku" is a bag for protecting tea utensils such as tea containers, tea utensils, and tea bowls. In this case, it is a bag for tea containers.
The garment is made up of two pieces of fabric, the round bottom and the copper part, with a lining sewn together and strings and ties attached.
