This is a sometsuke (blue and white) water pitcher, a piece of Ko-Imari ware. It does not have a lid. It features hand-painted blue and white patterns. In the tea ceremony, it is used to hold water for adding to the kama (tea kettle) or for cleaning the chawan (tea bowls) and chasen (tea whisk). In calligraphy, it is used to drop the appropriate amount of water onto the suzuri (ink stone) when grinding ink. It is also sometimes collected as an antique. Thank you for looking. My mother purchased this at an antique shop, and I am selling it to organize her collection. It has a price tag, so it has not been used since purchase, but it has been stored for a long time. Also, the spout inside has a small crack and a hairline crack. We are looking forward to your purchase if you do not mind the used condition and long-term storage. Purchase price: 15,000 yen
