Hokusai Wave Meets Jonathan Livingston Seagull in Unused 1970s Ceramic Teapot by Otagini Japan




 You got a love the Otagiri import company, they imported what was cutting edge for the second.

This vintage 1970s teapot is oh so part of the explosion of seagull oriented items marketed after Jonathan Livingston Seagull. The designer of this piece, was also nice enough to pick up a little of the great wave at Kanagawa by Hokusai, for flavor.
In very good condition. I don’t think it’s ever seen used as it still has its gold sticker on the bottom. I would call it excellent except during manufacturing there was a glaze skip at the very top of one of the loops that hold the handle one, which doesn’t effect overall look or use.
