This is a ceramic ornament of the Chinese zodiac animal "Tori (Rooster)" made by Kato Gozan, a master craftsman of Seto-yaki. According to the included pamphlet, it appears to have been made in the year of the Rooster, 1993 (Heisei 5). It is glazed with the traditional Chinese "Kin-yo-yu" glaze, which features a very deep and beautiful luster and color, with a complex mixture of green and brown. A chick nestles at the parent bird's feet, creating a very warm and auspicious design. 【Specifications】 ・Artist: Kato Gozan (Gozan Pottery Studio, Seto-yaki) ・Motif: Chinese Zodiac Tori (Rooster) ・Glaze: Kin-yo-yu ・Accessories: Original box (wooden box), pamphlets, decorative cloth (everything in the image) 【Condition: No noticeable scratches or stains】 This item has been carefully stored in its box. There are no cracks or chips on the ceramic body, and it is in very clean condition with a nice shine. (※The wooden box and pamphlets have some minor scratches and stains due to aging.) As I have not had the opportunity to display it, I would be happy to pass it on to someone who collects zodiac ornaments or who loves ceramic art. Please consider this item only if you understand that it is a vintage item that has been stored at home. 421801040905 --------------------------- #KatoGozan #SetoYaki #GozanPotteryStudio #KinYoYu #ZodiacOrnament #Tori #Rooster #Chicken #Ceramic #Ornament #Antique #GoodLuckCharm #1993
