This is a mizusashi (water container) that shows signs of practical use over many years. The pale loquat-colored glaze has natural crackling throughout, and the inside of the foot exhibits natural blackening from long-term use. This is a characteristic of tea utensils that have been well-used, a feature rarely seen in recent works. Although there is no artist's mark or original box, the handmade form and glaze suggest it was made in a local kiln from the late Edo to the Meiji period. This set includes a wooden knee-black lacquered lid and a wooden black lacquered hishaku (ladle), making it a tea utensil with the appearance and completeness of an antique. 【Condition】 No cracks or chips. No water leakage. There are scratches and age-related soiling from use over time, but it is in good condition as an antique. 【Material, Dimensions】 Pottery Mizusashi Height: Approx. 15cm Body Diameter: Approx. 14cm Mouth Diameter: Approx. 9cm Color: Pale loquat color Accessories: Wooden knee-black lacquered lid, wooden black lacquered hishaku, no original box Antique Japanese Mizusashi (water container) used in tea ceremony.
