Country: Japan Type: Tableware/Plate/Bottle Reduced from ¥550,000 Today only, half price. It will return to the original price tomorrow. This is a perfect item for those who can sell overseas, such as on eBay. One item believed to be the same is in the Hasami Museum. No others have been confirmed. I would prefer that it remain in Japan as a treasure and be cherished. Most ceramics have uncertain authenticity, but with Tou-tai Sometsuke (porcelain body with underglaze painting), you can tell for sure, even as an amateur, by looking and touching it. As you can see in the photos, the cracks are between the body and the glaze. Fakes have cracks on the surface, which is called "hibiyaki" (crack firing). The color that has seeped into the cracks shows the passage of 400 years. Tou-tai Sometsuke from Hasami ware, made in 1650 Only two items are confirmed to exist. It's a ceramic where even amateurs can clearly tell the authenticity. Look and touch it, and it's obvious. Ceramics are often difficult to authenticate, so it's rare to find one that's so clear. The cracks were accidentally formed between the body and the glaze, a work of art created by chance. It's different from intentionally imitated "hibiyaki." "Hibiyaki" has cracks on the surface, so you can tell by touching it. This is said to have a skin that clings to you. Made 400 years ago, the passage of time has colored it, creating a very beautiful scene. The design of poppy flowers is very skillfully drawn on the pottery with sloping shoulders. A perfect piece for the alcove to welcome the New Year. A similar item is in the museum's collection, and only these two pieces are confirmed, making it a rare item. Height 31cm Appraisal value: ¥1,650,000 Based on the examination at the home of Hasami ware and the evaluation of several pottery merchants at the pottery market. Comes with an old wooden carved pedestal. If you wish to purchase, please consult on the price. A price reduction is possible within a reasonable range. ¥110,000 - Price reduced #RareMasterpiece #Tou-taiSometsuke #MadeIn1650 #AccidentalCreation #MasterpieceOfHasamiWare #AHeirloom #GreatDeal #OneOfAKindCeramic #AuthenticityIsObviousToAmateurs #ColorProves400YearsOfHistory #OverseasResale #SpeculativeInvestment #AuthenticWithoutBoxWriting #GenuineArticle #AuthenticThatAnyoneCanTell #ClearDifferenceFromFakes #SignificantPriceReduction #GreatDeal #TreasureToLeaveToDescendants #TreasureToLeaveToPosterity #CertifiedAuthentic #InheritanceForChildren #UndoubtedlyGenuine #DeeplyDiscounted Type: Pottery Ceramic: Hasami ware
