This is a "tsukubai" (a type of water basin) from Ko-Echizen. It is a Ko-Echizen two-eared, short-necked jar, also known as an "ohaguro-tsubo" (black tooth jar). Among ohaguro-tsubo, those with superior form and aesthetic qualities, like this piece, were selected by tea masters and connoisseurs with discerning eyes and prized as "tsukubai" for arranging chabana (tea flowers) to adorn the tea ceremony. This piece is also a small jar that evokes a feeling of the wild, and when wildflowers are casually placed in it, it creates a surprisingly wonderful atmosphere. Ko-Echizen tsukubai are not as common as Shigaraki ware, but opportunities to see them are extremely rare, making this a very valuable piece. For those who appreciate it, what do you think? - Color: Reddish-brown - Shape: Rounded shape - Decoration: Decorative twist at the mouth - Features: Irregular texture and color unevenness on the surface Thank you for viewing.
