Japanese Antique Paper-covered Pottery Vase 1860s-1900s / Vessel Wabi Sabi

About the Item

This is a paper-lined Pottery vase (jar) made in Japan. It was made during the Meiji period (1860s-1900s) and was used to store and transport tea leaves at that time. To protect the tea leaves from moisture, the outside of the vase is carefully covered with Japanese paper. Among these, this plain type is extremely rare and exudes a calm presence and serenity. Under natural light or indirect lighting, the texture of the washi paper emerges more richly, bringing a sense of wabi-sabi beauty to the space. Fortunately, it is in very good condition with no cracks or major damage. However, it cannot be filled with water, so please enjoy dried flowers or branches. A one-of-a-kind gem that evokes the Japanese sense of beauty. Opening diameter: about 205mm. Weight: 12.5kg. ___________________________________________ Our Philosophy Objects always tell the truth. All I can do is just to face with them sincerely and give them deep affection as much as I can. There is no boundary of nationalities and of eras in beauty. But I think now is the time we choose 'Japanese style' and it will be the best way to remind us of what we are losing today and to question us about an essence of beauty again. I hope that you can touch the memories which the objects here have, feel and think of something invisible but exists undoubtedly.
