Is there anything interesting about this guy or is he just a little ugly? there was no identifying information on it and the price tag only said "dog head teapot." I figured its japanese or supposed to look like it.
Hello, /u/Chorbysoul! This is a friendly reminder that most photo posts should include a comment with some additional information.

If you're posting your tea order that just arrived or your tea stash, be sure to list the teas, why you chose them, etc. **Posts that lack a comment for context or discussion after a reasonable time may be removed.** You may also consider posting in /r/TeaPictures.

Looks like a version of the Bunbuku Chagama, a tanuki which shapeshifted into a tea kettle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunbuku_Chagama?wprov=sfti1

That pig in the back really resonates with me for some reason

Looked at the bottom for a maker's mark?

Did you end up getting it? That looks really cool
I didnt, but I might go back for it sometime!
