Japanese antique pottery lion-shaped incense burner / 17th - 18th century / Edo
About the Item
This is a Japanese "Seto" fired pottery incense burner.
Seto is a kiln with a long history in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. (Seto kilns are marked with red circles on the map.)
It is said to have originated around the 13th century.
Seto ware has a long history and has produced many designs of pottery.
And in the Edo period, there were so many types, and various designs and colors were produced.
This item is believed to be pottery made in the early to mid-Edo period, around the 17th or 18th century.
A lion is a divine beast introduced from ancient China, and it can be said that it is a classic motif.
It is still loved as a popular and familiar character in Japan.
The incense burner is one of the utensils that have been used as one of the tea utensils since ancient times, and there are a wide variety of design types.
This lion's incense burner has a lid on the head.
It is the figure of a lion with its eyes wide open and staring at the sky.
The corps is plump and the legs are made short, which is also very cute.
There is an inscription by the author on the belly, but I have been unable to decipher it.
I think that making facial expressions and overall balance is good.
There are no major defects, but there is a small chip on the neck of the lid. This is the area circled in red.
It's not very noticeable so I wouldn't worry too much.
Although it is old, I think that it is in relatively good condition.
In addition, since a similar product was published in the art book, the photograph is posted as a reference material.
A storage wooden box is also included.
How about decorating your room as one of the cute objects?

This will be a hanging vase. Pour water directly into this and decorate the flowers. Also, perhaps this is a pottery called Seto-yaki. Seto is an ancient kiln located in Aichi Prefecture. Various shapes and colors were produced there, and in the late Edo period, dark glazed pottery was also produced. When a dark brown glaze is applied, the areas with thick glaze look black, and the areas with thin glaze look brown. I put water directly into this and left it for a day, but there was no water leakage. I would say it is in very good condition. Although it is a small item, it has a very strong presence. It has a glossy and elegant appearance. There are many types of Seto pottery...Category
