About the Item

This is a very good example of a Shigaraki Tsubo vessel whose intended purpose was to contain water. Note the spout located at the bottom of the jar. This example of Shigaraki ware is drip glazed. The Tsubo date to the end of the Edo or beginning of the Meiji period. The intense green of the drip glaze is a mark of quality and is very desirable. **Please note there is considerable light refraction on the high gloss glaze of the Tsubo and the white marks are not flaws.

Japanese Glazed Tsubo Wine Jar, c. 1875
Located in Chicago, IL
This large, glazed stoneware vessel is a Meiji-era Japanese storage jar (tsubo) used for storing rice wine, water or even tea leaves and spices. Sometimes referred to as a Martaban jar due to historic trade routes, this style of unrefined, ovoid jar was common throughout East Asia as everyday containers for liquids and foodstuffs. The large vessel is sculpted to a tapered form with broad shoulders, a narrow base, and a constrained neck flanked by two small loop handles. The interior and shoulders are drenched in a thin, iron-rich glaze that imparts a glassy, dark brown finish and drips down the unglazed sides with irregular movement.
