About the Item
This is believed to be a bronze "tsurube" (water bucket) made in Japan or East Asia.
It was likely used to draw water from wells.
The base shows dents, possibly from repeated impacts, but these dents add to its character and beauty.
The handle has a distinctive shape, and the connection points are secured with three copper fittings, which also serve as attractive design elements.
There is a repaired spot on the bottom where a hole was filled. This is marked with a red circle in the detailed images.
There were no signs of water leakage during testing.
The item is in good condition, with no major damage.
It can be displayed by hanging from the included chain (178 cm in length) or placed on a table to hold flowers, creating a charming centerpiece.
This piece allows you to fully appreciate the patina and beauty of bronze.
Highly recommended.

Japanese Antique Pottery Hanging Vase/Edo/1800s/Boat-Shaped Vase
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This is a black-glazed boat-shaped pottery made in the late Edo period of Japan.
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...
