Origin: Yokkaichi, Japan - Ryusei Kiln (1973)
Material: Glazed ceramic, marked but unattributed
Height: approx. 18cm
A vintage Japanese ceramic water or sake jar from the Ryusei Kiln in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture - a region known for its production of functional ceramics in the Banko Ware tradition.
For decades, everyday items such as teacups and plates were made in Yokkaichi, with the city's ceramic heritage still celebrated annually at the Banko Festival.
This piece is finished in a rich earth-toned candy glaze. The form is both practical and sculptural, accompanied by a matching cup which also forms the lid of the jar. Can be used as a vessel for liquids, a flower vase, or as an object to display.
Comes with its original wooden tomobako (storage box), inscribed with calligraphy.
Excellent condition.
