Product Description Height: Approximately 7.5 cm, Diameter: Approximately 8 cm, Height with lid: 8 cm About Horaku-yaki Horaku-yaki was created by the fourth Toyosuke, who applied lacquer finishes to tea utensils and other items. They appear to be lacquerware at first glance, but when the lid is opened, you can see the glaze and painting, revealing them to be pottery. He named this technique "Kigu-sha." This highly innovative technique and meticulous craftsmanship were adopted as official products of the Owari Domain. Horaku-yaki can truly be called a treasure of Aichi Prefecture. As you can see, these are five Edo period Horaku-yaki "Keiraku" marked bowls. Horaku-yaki is a soft pottery made in Osu, Naka-ku, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture (formerly Maetsu), in the Kakurenri area south of Banshoji Temple. It was produced for over 130 years, from the late Edo period to the Taisho era, but production has now ceased. Only 130 years of production means that very few pieces remain, making them a true treasure of Aichi Prefecture and highly valuable for collectors. All five bowls are undamaged, but two lids have chips, and one lid is missing. Please check the photos for details. In a "Treasure Appraisal Show" (Japanese TV program), the appraisal value for three tea utensils was 800,000 yen, and for one food container, it was 150,000 yen.
