Unused Kutani-yaki (Kutani ware) Tokkuri (sake bottle) x 2, Ochoko (sake cup) set of 5, beautiful "Kannyu" (crackling) Size: Tokkuri: Height 14.7 cm Sake cup/Ochoko: Diameter 5.5 cm, Height 4.5 cm "Kannyu" refers to the crack-like patterns that appear during the cooling process after the pottery is taken out of the kiln. It is a phenomenon where the glaze cracks due to the difference in shrinkage between the pottery body and the glaze. Kutani-yaki is a type of porcelain with colored overglaze, produced in Kanazawa City, Komatsu City, Kaga City, and Nomi City in the southern part of Ishikawa Prefecture. It is characterized by vivid overglaze painting called Gosai-de (commonly known as "Kutani Gosai"). In the Edo period, it is said to have started as a production promotion policy of the Daishoji clan, a branch of the Kaga clan, after high-quality pottery stone was discovered in Kutani Village (present-day Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture). Goto Saijiro [3], a retainer of the clan, was sent to Arita to learn the skills, and it is said to have begun around the early Meireki era (around 1655) after his return. However, it suddenly ceased production about half a century later, in the late Genroku era (early 1700s). There are various theories about the reason for the closure, but it is not clear. The items made during this period are called "Ko-Kutani" (Old Kutani). We also offer combined sales. We have a lot of items for sale! Please take a look!
