A small vase, possibly from Ko-Soma or Uenome-yaki. It has a generally tobi-kanna (flying plane) pattern and is covered with a slightly amber-colored iron glaze. There are kiln marks and chips on the rim, all in millimeter units. Additionally, there is clay adhering to the foot, which causes a slight wobble. However, this is due to the firing process. There are also spots on the body, resembling persimmon glaze. This was likely created by chance through kiln transformation, and I think it's quite a nice view. Ōbori Soma-yaki ↓ It is said that Ōbori Soma-yaki began in 1690 (Genroku 3) in the Edo period when Hankai Kyukan, a retainer of the Nakamura clan, discovered pottery clay in the Ōbori area of Namie Town, Futaba District, and had his servant, Sama, make daily necessities. While "Soma Komayaki," made in the castle town of Nakamura in present-day Soma City, was offered to the Soma clan, Ōbori Soma-yaki was manufactured as daily necessities for the common people. Uenome-yaki ↓ Uenome-yaki is pottery fired in Uenome Village, Tamatsukuri District, Rikuzen Province (present-day Iwadateyama Town, Tamatsukuri District, Miyagi Prefecture). The founding period is unknown, but a vase with a mark from 1823 (Bunsei 6) is said to exist, and it is believed to have started around the Bunka and Bunsei eras and continued until the early Meiji era. There was also a transmission of techniques with Aizu, and many items similar to Ōbori Soma-yaki exist. This item is believed to be from the late Edo period to the Meiji era. The size suggests it may be an oil pot, but the details are unknown. As mentioned above, this item has kiln marks, chips, etc., so please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection or are overly sensitive. Please only purchase if you understand and appreciate old items. Size → Height: Approximately 16.5cm The photos in the catalog were taken for reference and are not included with the product.
