About the Item

This is a piece of pottery made during the early Joseon Dynasty of the Yi Dynasty in South Korea. This tea bowl, which was made around the 15th century, was used by common people and was made as a practical item. In an era when white porcelain was only allowed to be used by the upper class and privileged people, this slightly grayish tea bowl was a tool that supported the people. To make it, use gray-blue clay, apply cloudy mud to a brush, and apply it onto the bowl to create a pattern. In the case of this bowl, there is a white band-like pattern on the inside, but that is after applying this paint. This paint is often applied over the entire vessel, but this vessel has a subtle design. After that, a transparent glaze is applied to the entire piece, and when it is fired, it becomes a vessel like this. The bottom part is slightly indented by a spatula, which is a characteristic feature of 15th century vessels. Also, since a similar item was published in an art book, I have included a photo of it as a reference. The balance of the vessel is beautiful. Although it is an excavated item, there are no noticeable scratches and it is in good condition overall. The transparent glaze has peeled off slightly around the edges due to aging, but it's not noticeable. Items in good condition are rare. Can be used for soup plates, sweets plates, etc. This is a recommended item. Weight: 449g

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...
