Japanese Ceramic Teapot

This is a large, round teapot crafted from a deep red ceramic with a subtly mottled glaze. It features a short, straight spout, two small loop handles, and a domed lid with a circular knob. A prominent circular medallion with intricate characters adorns the front. The rims of the lid and opening are accented with a lighter-toned material. It has a substantial feel, suggesting it was made for serving multiple cups of tea. Does not have a handle.
