Seto Ware (from Susan Lawrence Collection) Title: "Kikyo Shape" (Set of Two) Year: Tokugawa Era, 19th C. Japan Materials: Clay, Glaze Size: 5 x 5 x 5 inches COA provided Seto ware refers to a type of Japanese pottery, stoneware, and ceramics produced in and around Seto in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Katō Shirōzaemon is credited as the first to produce wares in the town. In the 1220s he studied the art of pottery in China. After several failed attempts in various Japanese towns, Shirōzaemon founded a successful kiln at Seto. Potters drew inspiration from Chinese ceramics, including green celadon porcelains and dark brown tenmoku wares. Later Seto wares were given a brown iron glaze and fired at high temperatures to create glossy surfaces.
