One teapot. Imari palette — cobalt blue, deep red, white, gold. A bamboo handle. Every motif on this piece has a meaning, and together they amount to a wish for luck, prosperity, abundance, and happiness.
This is a vintage Japanese porcelain teapot in the Imari style by Miyako, made in Japan for the National Silver Co., circa 1970s–1980s. Richly decorated with traditional Imari motifs in cobalt blue, red, and white with gold accents and a gold rim, with a natural bamboo over-handle. Excellent condition — no chips, cracks, or scratches. Gold rims intact. One piece available.
The decoration is worth knowing. The Karakusa pattern — the twisting vine and spiral forms — symbolizes luck, prosperity, and eternity, from the vigorous growth of vines. The Hishi pattern (the red diamond shapes) means "Grand Generativity" — care and concern across generations. The Shippo pattern — overlapping circles — symbolizes a happy ending. Cobalt blue sections with gold spirals and white flowers represent abundance and rejuvenation. Every inch of this teapot is intentional. A wonderful gift piece for exactly that reason.
Maker: Miyako — made in Japan for National Silver Co.
