About the Item

This is a very old cup-shaped earthenware from Korea. It was made in a country called "Kaya" located at the southern tip of the Korean peninsula. This is fired at a kiln temperature of over 1,000 degrees, and because it is fired at a high temperature, the vessel walls are thin but hard like porcelain. This technique was also introduced to Japan, where this type of gray earthenware is called "sueki." The common theory is that "sue" means "iron" in Korean, so it means "earthenware as hard as iron." When it was made before this, the firing temperature was low, so liquids would leak if they were poured into it, but this type of hard earthenware does not leak even if liquids are poured into it. This earthenware was made around the 4th to 5th century and was excavated. It is thought to have been brought back by Japanese people when they went to the Korean peninsula. This earthenware is cup-shaped with a round, string-like band attached to it, giving it the shape of a cup. Even today, it has a modern design. A distinctive feature of this piece is the lines on the surface. Similar lines can be seen on other forms of pottery. There is also an arrow-like mark in one place, and such unique markings can also be engraved on pottery. (Also, a similar piece was featured in an art book, so I have included a photo of it as a reference.) This is a fascinating piece of pottery. And in the photo, there is a red circle, which is a repaired area. The bottom part is thought to be a part that was chipped and re-glued. It can be used as a flower vase, but if you put water in it and leave it for half a day, the repaired part at the bottom will start to seep in, so avoid leaving water in it for long periods of time. It also has an earthen smell, so it cannot be used directly as a drinking cup. It has a worn-out texture that exudes a sense of wabi-sabi, and also has modern design elements. It is a fascinating item that exudes a sense of eternal history. It is also stored in a special wooden box. It is a rare item that is hard to come by. Also, I want many people to know the goodness of antiques, so I set the price reasonably. How about showing off to your friends around you?

Very old Japanese teapot-shaped pottery "Koseto" / 1200s / Excavated pottery

Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba

This is Seto ware. Seto is a kiln with a long history located in Aichi Prefecture, Japan (Seto kilns are marked with red circles on the map). It is said to have originated around the 13th century. In Japan, items from this period of Seto ware are referred to as "Ko-Seto." "Ko" means "old." This particular item is Ko-Seto, which was fired around the 13th century. One of the distinguishing features of Ko-Seto, as compared to other kilns, is the presence of glaze. While other kilns produced mostly unglazed pottery, Ko-Seto was covered with ash glaze, giving it a yellowish-green or pale emerald-green color. In the early Kamakura period (13th century), when Ko-Seto production began, there was increased demand from temples in Kamakura (the capital city of the time, in present-day Kanagawa Prefecture) and the Tokai region for roof tiles, Buddhist ritual objects, and burial urns...

Carved from the shell of a coconut, this enchanting Chinese cup exhibits exceptional artistry. An elegant floral design encircles the entire cup, while the interior is fully lined with silver. In addition to the poison detecting powers attributed to coconuts, the Chinese believed that silver would tarnish when in contact with poison.
