About the Item
This is a pottery called Tokoname ware.
Tokoname is a kiln located in Aichi Prefecture, Japan (Tokoname Kiln is marked with a red circle on the map).
It is said to have originated around the 12th century.
In Japan, there are six kilns with a long history that are still active, and Tokoname is one of them.
This particular bowl was made around the 12th to 13th centuries.
It was produced during the late Heian period to the early Kamakura period, long before the Edo period.
Originally, it was made as a lid for a large jar.
In Japan, there was a custom of burying Buddhist scriptures in copper tubes or ceramic vessels to preserve them for the future, and this bowl was created as a lid for such a vessel.
I have included a reference image for you to take a look at.
This bowl, in particular, was fired at high temperatures without the use of artificial glazes.
It is coated with a beautiful natural glaze, created from straw and other materials, resulting in a yellow-green hue.
The natural glaze on this bowl is especially beautiful and covers the surface elegantly.
While many similar items are unglazed or lack such a beautiful natural glaze, this one stands out for its exceptional beauty.
The center of the bowl shows marks from stacking during the firing process.
Generally, it was stacked in seven layers, which is believed to have been done for religious reasons.
As an excavated piece, it has been restored by gluing the broken ceramic fragments back together.
Since most pottery of this type is found broken during excavation, it is typically restored in this way.
It is beautiful from every angle, whether viewed from the front, back, or sides.
This is a unique item, with the charm that only antiques possess, embodying both Japanese culture and aesthetic consciousness.
Why not consider displaying it in your room?
It comes highly recommended.
The item comes with a storage wooden box.

It is speculated that this pottery was fired in the Shodai kiln in Kumamoto Prefecture during the Edo period, around the 18th century to the first half of the 19th century.
It is characterized by the use of iron-rich clay and the appearance of a white glaze that looks like falling snow.
As a feature, using clay with a lot of iron,
It is characterized by a white glaze that looks like snow.
This vessel is made with two types of glaze.
One is straw ash glaze and the other is rice husk ash glaze.
This rice husk ash glaze changes to a white glaze.
This pot is very beautiful with a petal-like rim.
However, there is one spot where the crack has been repaired.
The part marked with a red arrow has been broken once, but it seems to have been glued later.
Therefore, it will not leak even if you put water in it.
It's not very noticeable so I wouldn't worry about it.
This Shodai ware was made in Kumamoto Prefecture and was used there, so there are not many items in Japan.
It is a rare item.
