This is Futaba Soma Haruyama Kiln's Double Soma ware from Fukushima Prefecture, with a history of over 300 years. Designated as a traditional Japanese craft. Ohori Soma ware is a traditional pottery that has been produced in the Ohori area of Namie Town, Fukushima Prefecture, since the Edo period. With a history of over 300 years, it is also designated as a national traditional craft. Under the protection and cultivation of the Soma clan, it developed as a folk kiln for the common people, and produced distinctive techniques such as blue cracks and double-walled construction. Due to its double-walled structure, it is easy to hold even when hot water is poured in. Because of its large size, it can be used as a soba choko (small bowl for soba noodles) in addition to a teacup. Among Soma ware, the careful craftsmanship and dynamic brushwork convey the quality of a kiln with a long history. The horses are painted very vividly. The kiln's mark is on the back. Unused. Diameter 9cm, height 9.5cm Please consider this item with the understanding that it has aged due to long-term storage. *There is no box, so it will be wrapped in bubble wrap.
