Japanese Antique Edo Wabi-Sabi Bizen Ware Large Art Pottery Jar Tsubo Pot Vase

About the Item

An absolutely stunning Bizen ware stoneware vase/tsubo jar/vessel - produced sometime during the mid to late Edo period (1603-1867). Bizen yaki ware is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally from the Bizen province, presently a part of Okayama prefecture. Bizen is considered one of the Six Ancient Japanese Kilns (along with Echizen ware, Seto ware, Shigaraki ware, Tamba ware, and Tokoname ware). Pottery from this area is characterized by significant hardness due to high-temperature firing and its earthen-like, reddish-orange/brown color. This work features a natural molten ash glaze and organic, perchance markings resulting from wood-burning kiln firing. This particular piece encompasses the Japanese Wabi-Sabi aesthetic - the appreciation of beauty that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete in nature and embraces the principles of asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and the appreciation of both natural objects and the forces of nature upon them. The work appears to have the maker's mark near the upper shoulder. A gorgeous aged patina, organic texture, and natural forming ash glaze. Would be a great addition to any Asian or Japanese pottery/ceramics collection or a clear eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting. Solid and heavy. Approximate dimensions: 19" high, 13" wide, 13" deep.
