Rare Japanese Antique Pottery Vase / 1600-1700 / Wonderful Little Sake Bottle

About the Item

We have received very rare and beautiful pottery. This is Japanese "Seto ware". Seto is a historic kiln in Aichi prefecture. (The red circle on the map is the Seto kiln) It is said to have originated around the 13th century. This is a small sake bottle made in the early to middle Edo period (1600-1700). Items with such a design were used to put sake and oil. It is also covered with a yellow glaze, which is called "Kizeto" in Japan. "Ki" means yellow. "Kizeto" is also popular in Japan. Also, there is a little white on a part of the surface of this sake bottle. This is because the ash flies in the kiln, which melts and undergoes a chemical change to give it this color. This white natural glaze is called "Unofu". This is rarely the case. Since it was used again, it is very beautiful with small stains on the cracks. There is a small chip on the bottom. Other than that, there are no scratches. The condition is very good. This wonderful pottery is hard to come by even in Japan. Also, if you use it with sake, the smell of pottery may be transferred. It is recommended to use this as a vase. Also, I want many people to know the goodness of antiques, so the price is set reasonably. Why don't you show off to your friends around you?.

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...

Kaneshige Toyo National Treasure Signed Japanese Bizen Pottery Sake Bottle Vase
Located in Studio City, CA
A beautiful, perfectly shaped and balanced antique Bizen ware shibui sake bottle (tokkuri) vase by renowned Japanese master potter/artist Kaneshige Toyo (1896-1967) featuring a unique natural, wonderfully textured organic forming ash glaze. Kaneshige is universally considered to be the founder of modern Bizen pottery. In 1956, Kaneshige was certified as a Living National Treasure (Important Intangible Cultural Heritage) for his work in Bizen Ware pottery/ceramics. Bizen Ware is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally from the Bizen province, presently a part of the Okayama prefecture. It is considered one of the Six Ancient Japanese Kilns (along with Echizen ware, Seto ware, Shigaraki ware, Tamba ware, and Tokoname ware). The piece is signed/ sealed on the base with one of Kaneshige's traditional incised marks. A rather striking and engaging work. One of the best Kaneshige works we have come across. Scarce and hard to find in such an excellent condition. Would be a fantastic addition to any Japanese/Asian pottery or Bizen Ware collection or eye-catching stand-alone work in about any setting. Kaneshige's work can be found in numerous prominent collections and museums including: Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum, Seto, Japan Brooklyn Museum, NY Hagi Uragami Museum, Yamaguchi, Japan Honolulu Art Museum, HI Ibaraki Ceramic Art Museum, Kasama, Japan Indiana Art...
