Japanese Antique Edo Wabi-Sabi Tamba Tanba Large Art Pottery Jar Tsubo Pot Vase

About the Item

An absolutely stunning Tamba (Tanba) ware Japanese pottery vase/jar/pot - produced sometime during the Edo Period (1603-1867). Tamba-yaki ware is a type of Japanese pottery and ceramics produced in Sasayama and Tachikui in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Tamba (Tanba) ware is considered one of the Six Ancient Japanese Kilns (along with Echizen ware, Seto ware, Shigaraki ware, Tokaname ware, and Bizen ware). Pottery made in Tokoname dates back to the 12th century. This particular piece, commonly referred to as a four ears jar, features a gorgeous natural unique forming organic ash and iron glaze and wonderful texture. The work encompasses the Japanese Wabi-Sabi aesthetic (which is so revered and coveted in Japan) - 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. Truly a beautiful and engaging piece and perhaps the perfect Ikebana vase. 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. Approximate dimensions: 15.75 to 16" high, 13" wide, 13" deep.
