Shigaraki-yaki Mizusashi (Water Jar) Variant Lid (Lacquer) Artist, Era: Unknown Although labeled as Shigaraki water jar, it is a water jar modeled after Iga-yaki, old Iga ware. This water jar has a strong presence, with the white stones characteristic of Shigaraki-yaki mixed in, and the powerful earthen feel of the red clay is evident. Green glaze is applied over the entire front, creating a very interesting contrast of red and black colors. The lid's handle is uniquely shaped, giving it a powerful impression. The lacquered variant lid is in a beautiful condition, appropriate for its age. As this water jar has a strong presence, it would be best to place it directly on the tatami mat. Long-term storage item. The paulownia wood box shows some stains and dullness.
