Japanese Wabi Sabi Antique Pottery Jar/1600s/Edo Period Vase

About the Item

It is "Shigaraki ware". Shigaraki is a historical kiln located in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. (Shigaraki Kiln is marked with a red circle on the map.) It is said to have originated in the 8th century. In Japan, there are 6 historical kilns that are still in operation. One of them. This is a jar made in the early Edo period, that is, in the early 17th century. Originally, the upper part was narrowed, but it was broken, so it is in such a state. Rather, this shape has a cool shape. Also, there is a part where the bottom was also cracked and glued. Please have a look at the photos. It has an interesting shape. It is rare because it was only made for a short period around the 1600s. It is unglazed, but it is well baked. One of the characteristics of Shigaraki ware is that the baked color is orange. I filled it halfway with water and left it for half a day, but there was no water leakage. Weight: 2.9kg.

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...
