This appears to be a Ryumonji ware mizusashi (water container) or perhaps a karakara (sake server). It features rice-straw white glaze with green and iron glazes for color. Ryumonji ware has a long history, originating with potters brought back from Korea by Lord Yoshihiro Shimazu. Its history spans over 300 years. It is known for its diverse natural glazes, including subdued amber, black glaze, vibrant tricolor (sansai), rare sharkskin and crackle patterns, and tamagushi (drip glaze). While rustic, it possesses an elegant dignity and is widely appreciated. There is a chip on the spout (approximately 3-4mm), please check the photos. Please understand that this is a home-kept item and is old. Height: Approximately 11cm If you purchase immediately, it will be considered that you have agreed to the purchase after viewing the photos carefully. #History #Sake Vessels #Tokkuri (Sake Bottle) #Choshi (Sake Pourer) #Mizusashi (Water Pitcher) #Tricolor #Satsuma #Mingei (Folk Craft) #Mingei (Folk Craft) #Yanagi Sōetsu #Bernard Leach #Beauty of Use #Mizusashi (Water Container) #Sake #Pottery #Mashiko #Karakara (Sake Server) #Soma #Antique #Art Type...Pottery Type...Sake Vessel
