Silver Teapot and Yuzamashi Set

This elegant silver teapot and yuzamashi [water cooler] set is inspired by the beauty of a summer lotus pond. Both vessels are masterfully formed as natural lotus leaves, with softly undulating veins and curled edges created through skilled hand raising.The teapot is surmounted by three finely sculpted crabs in high relief, while its spout is fashioned as a rolled lotus leaf. The matching yuzamashi echoes the same organic design, featuring a lotus-stem spout and additional crab decoration, creating a lively waterside scene.Retaining the subtle hammer texture and rich natural patina of aged silver, the set beautifully combines sculptural artistry with practical function. Lotus and crabs are traditional auspicious motifs in East Asian art, symbolizing purity, abundance, and vitality. An exceptional example of Japanese silver craftsmanship for the sencha tradition.
