Japanese antique pottery fragments/12th to 13th century/Flower vase
About the Item
Tokoname ware is a historic kiln in Japan, where pottery has been made since before the Common Era, and a kiln was established in the 5th century. This kiln is located in Aichi Prefecture, and is still one of the six major kilns in Japan, carrying on its traditions. (The red circle on the map is the Tokoname kiln.)
This item is a fragment of the edge of a large vase made in the 12th to 13th centuries, and was discovered as an excavation. (Please see the photo of the original shape of the vase.)
This vase fragment was probably unable to withstand the high temperatures during firing, or was crushed by other pottery and broken. Nevertheless, the charm of the vase fragment will never fade as historical evidence. It is a valuable item that gives a glimpse into the technology and beauty of the past.
The distinctive features are the large x and the checkered pattern stamp on the back. This x has religious significance and was carved with a spatula before firing, symbolizing the unique design of the time. The checkered stamp is a characteristic decoration of this period, giving it a sense of valuable historical elements.
Furthermore, the greatest attraction of this pot fragment is its magnificent glaze and shape. It is not glazed, but a natural glaze is used, and the ash from burning straw melts at high temperatures to create this beautiful deep green glaze. Natural glazes can become thin or peel off, but this piece has a strong glaze and a beautiful luster.
There are many collectors in Japan who love such pottery fragments, and they are highly valued.
Its abstract and interesting shape looks like modern art when placed on a black pedestal like this. Such valuable fragments are hard to come by. It is valuable as a historical document and an excellent collection. You can also enjoy it as a flower vase by decorating it with dried flowers or arranging branches inside.
If you place it in your living room or entrance, it will tighten the space and create a sophisticated atmosphere. This item, which combines history and beauty, is highly recommended.
