Thank you for viewing. This is a tea utensil called "kensui" or "chagoboshi" (water container for tea waste) from the Kisen Gama kiln of Arita-yaki, featuring a Nishiki Sarasa pattern. Size: Approximately 10.5cm in diameter, 8cm in height. This type of porcelain uses the "Sometsuke Nishiki" technique. Sometsuke Nishiki is a luxurious decorative technique in which an underglaze is drawn with Gosu (indigo pigment), a glaze is applied and fired, and then additional overglaze colors such as red and green, as well as gold, are added and fired again. Kensui/Chagoboshi: In the tea ceremony, this is a container for discarding the hot water used to clean the tea bowl and tea whisk. Arita-yaki: Porcelain made primarily in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, with the oldest history in Japan, characterized by its translucent white porcelain and vivid painting. Sometsuke Nishiki: A technique that adds overglaze painting with colors such as red, yellow, and green, as well as gold and platinum, in addition to Sometsuke (underglaze). Kisen Gama: One of the Arita-yaki kilns, known for works such as "Ko-karahana-mon" (dense Chinese flower pattern). After purchase, it has been stored in a warehouse for a long time, so there may be minor scratches and dullness. Please purchase only if you understand this. There are stains on the box (see photos). *I have a large amount of ceramics in the warehouse, but I have decided to declutter, so I will be releasing them sequentially. Please follow me so you don't miss out.
