Japanese Sleek Blue Iris Bamboo Handled Tea Pot 1930s

About the Item

Another Gem Japan, a mouth watering and fine 9" tall 1930s green and blue Awaji kiln tea pot complete with it carefully hand woven bamboo handle. Mint condition. Marvel at the rich deep greens, blue, and white colored crackled drip glazes. It was crafted by the master artisans of the Japanese southern Awaji Kiln.. The impressive porcelain tea pot was crafted in a classic sleek modernist form with an original multi glazed finish. It is unsigned as many normally were from that period and is in original condition with removeable glass top lid. Dimensions: 9 inches tall to top of handle and 5 inches wide. Provenance: private north west coast collection. Undoubtedly influenced by the modernist movement and more likely by the visit to the Awaji kilns by the noted English designer Christopher Dresser of Linthorpe Art Pottery, Yorkshire, UK (his visit recorded in 1875), this pottery kiln was located on Awaji island in Japan between Honshu and Shikoku. It was founded about 1830 by a doctor named Minpei in the village of Iga. The Awaji potters were masters of their pottery crafts, specialists in using colorful high-fired, white or cream colored clays with brilliant floral accents such as Iris, and monochromatic colored crackled and drip glazes. It is quite normal to see original to creation surface kiln imperfections in the glazes as this one. About Japan's Colorful Hand made Awaji Pottery Awaji pottery date from about 1830 during the Edo period to the 1930's early Showa period. Awaji potteries began exporting their wares in about 1870-1880. In the 1930's the Awaji kilns closed. Awaji pottery is unique in Japanese and international works of art. It's high-fired white or cream clay pottery is largely hand thrown and depicts an array of handsome balanced designs and shapes, a wide variety of pleasing brilliant colors, attractive translucent crackled glazing, and feature master decorative techniques. Colors include cobalt blue, natural greens, pale to amber yellows, and aubergine (egg plant color). In addition, some glazed pots may possess lighter shades of green, blue, turquoise, black and burgundy. Cobalt colored Iris applied designs created in the art nouveau taste of that time, were just one of Awaji master potter favorites and were a trade mark of Awaji potteries.
