This is a "Mizusashi Karakusa" (water pitcher with arabesque design) by Baizan Kiln, a maker of Tobe ware, a traditional craft of Japan. The arabesque pattern is hand-painted with flowing brushstrokes, and the indigo-dyed design beautifully complements the smooth white porcelain. Although it's a simple dyed design, the warmth you feel is a charm unique to hand-painted pieces. It can be used as a water pitcher, a vase, or an objet d'art... We hope you enjoy it in various ways.
