This is an antique Nanban mizusashi (water jar). It was ordered by Japanese tea masters in the Edo period from China or Vietnam and used as a mizusashi. The weathered appearance, the wave-like pattern on the rim, and the small handles add to its depth of flavor. It is, of course, used as a mizusashi, but it has also become popular as a flower vase in recent years. [Images 9, 10] It is said that the mouth is often split to improve water drainage. This also creates a beautiful appearance. Please take a look. Size: Diameter 15x19 ☆ For those who understand old items and antiques, please consider.
