Japanese Antique Earthenware Tea Bowl/Edo Period/1700-1800/'Hagi Ware'

About the Item

This is Hagi ware made in the middle of the Edo period. Hagi ware is a type of pottery that began in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture in the early Edo period (around 1604). (The places circled in red on the map of Japan in the image are the Hagi ware potteries.) Hagi ware, which is slowly fired at a low temperature in a climbing kiln, is less hardened and has a soft finish. It is highly water-absorbent, and through the fine cracks on the surface called kannyu, tea and other substances permeate, changing the color and creating a tasteful scenery. Because the baking is weak, it makes a dull sound when you tap it with your finger. It is made of thin material and is very light weight when you hold it in your hand. This tea bowl shows the characteristics of Hagi ware well, and the surface has fine penetrations, and since it has been used many times, tea and other things are soaked in the penetrations, giving it a beautiful texture. In addition, this pink color is a characteristic color that is often seen in Hagi ware. There are cracks on the rim of the tea bowl because it has been used for a long time. This crack has been repaired with lacquer, but only one place circled in red is glued with lacquer and adhesive. In addition, these days are also very cool with the scenery of wabi-sabi. The weight of the container is 200g. As it is very light, it is easy to use. How about using it with cafe au lait, simmered dishes, rice, etc.? Recommended item. A similar item was published in the art book of Hagi ware, so I will post the image here. Recommended item.

Antique pottery bowl from Kumamoto, Japan / Shodai ware / Edo / 18-19 thcentury
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
We have a unique Japanese aesthetic sense. And only we can introduce unique items through our purchasing channels in Japan and the experience we have gained so far, in such a way that no one else can imitate. 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. Also, a wooden box is included, but it says "Karatsu ware...

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...
