Japanese antique pottery bowl/[Banko ware] Mie prefecture/1850-1912

About the Item

Banko-yaki is a type of pottery that began in the northern part of Mie Prefecture in the middle of the Edo period. (The places marked with red circles on the map are the kilns of Banko ware.) A person named [nunami-rouzan] is the founder of Banko ware. Its history began in 1718. Banko-yaki means "to remain unchanging forever" or "an excellent pottery that flourishes for all eternity". After the death of "rouzan", Banko ware ceased for a while, but at the end of the Edo period, various people made efforts to revive Banko ware. This is Banko ware made around 1850-1912. A sparrow is drawn. It sits on a branch of a plant and holds a small centipede-like object in its beak. Sparrows have long been depicted in paintings as an auspicious bird in Japan, and have the meaning of prosperity of descendants. Another characteristic of Banko ware is that it is shaped by hand without using a potter's wheel. It is also carefully hand molded. Since the shape is made with fingers, the traces of the fingers become patterns and create a vessel with a unique atmosphere. Furthermore, as a characteristic of Banko ware, a stamp is pressed on the bottom. It says "Manko" here. This pottery is in good condition. There is a small chip on the part circled in red, but other than that there is no damage and it is in very good condition. It also comes with a wooden pedestal to display the plate. You can actually use it in your meal, or you can enjoy it as a decoration. It's a very nice plate. it's recommended Weight: 349g

  • Antique pottery bowl from Kumamoto, Japan / Shodai ware / Edo / 18-19 thcentury
    Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
    We have a unique Japanese aesthetic sense. And only we can introduce unique items through our purchasing channels in Japan and the experience we have gained so far, in such a way that no one else can imitate. It is speculated that this pottery was fired in the Shodai kiln in Kumamoto Prefecture during the Edo period, around the 18th century to the first half of the 19th century. It is characterized by the use of iron-rich clay and the appearance of a white glaze that looks like falling snow. As a feature, using clay with a lot of iron, It is characterized by a white glaze that looks like snow. This vessel is made with two types of glaze. One is straw ash glaze and the other is rice husk ash glaze. This rice husk ash glaze changes to a white glaze. This pot is very beautiful with a petal-like rim. However, there is one spot where the crack has been repaired. The part marked with a red arrow has been broken once, but it seems to have been glued later. Therefore, it will not leak even if you put water in it. It's not very noticeable so I wouldn't worry about it. This Shodai ware was made in Kumamoto Prefecture and was used there, so there are not many items in Japan. It is a rare item. Also, a wooden box is included, but it says "Karatsu ware...
