This teapot is from a tea set which was ordered to make along with the completion of Count Tachibana family’s Western-style guest house in 1910. Today, 31 pieces of the tea set remain, consisting of 4 kinds of items: cups and saucers, dessert plates, a sugar bowl and this teapot. Each piece is embellished with the blue crest of the Tachibana family and a gold Yoraku pattern. The bright blue color of the crest is created with gosu (cobalt oxide). The gold Yoraku pattern represents the classic Ko-imari style with motifs of a fan-shaped leaf and kensaki (a sword point) which are alternatively applied inside the petal-shaped enclosures. The color combination of blue and gold on the white porcelain gives a noble and refreshing impression.A motif of Mt. Fuji with a flowing river was branded on the base of each piece and the back lid of the teapot. This motif was a trade mark of Fukagawa Seiji, a craft company of Arita ware appointed to the official purveyor of the Imperial Household.
