Japanese Antique Pottery Vase 1900s-1940s / Kasama

About the Item

This ceramic vase was made in Kasama, Japan. Kasama is a traditional and famous pottery producing area. It is very old vase. It has a very beautiful light blue glaze and has a wonderful view. The light blue gradation and the unartificial pattern are wonderful. Fortunately, this ceramic vase is in beautiful condition with no cracks. It can also hold water. This ceramic vase is reminiscent of the spirit of "wabi-sabi", a Japanese philosophy that finds beauty in imperfection and impermanence. It is modest, unassuming, unconventional, and the polar opposite of vulgarity. It is a rare gem. Mouth diameter 145mm. Weight about 17kg. Since ancient times, people have created and inherited the necessary tools from familiar materials to survive in the battle against the harsh nature, and have cultivated a lifestyle culture. The more things are used, the more flavor they gain and reflect the lives of people. In an age where cheap, disposable products are the norm, the act of repeatedly improving and remaking everyday items opens up new worlds. Based on this philosophy, we carefully select and collect beautiful, powerful, and unique Japanese antiques.

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...
