Thank you for viewing. The details of this item are as follows: --------------------------------------------------- ・Height 15.5cm, body diameter 20cm, mouth diameter 14cm, base diameter 12.5cm. ・A rare old Echizen unfired jar from the Kamakura to Muromachi periods. Although it is a small size, it is heavy and well-fired, with a reddish-black color and robustness. ・It is very strong and full of power, with a great presence. ・Old Echizen ware, before iron glaze was used after the Momoyama period, had mud and clay applied to the surface of the vessel. Many old Echizen jars have a gray body with exposed clay because the poorly fired clay has peeled off. In this jar, the clay is well-fired, and although there is some peeling, the clay is firmly fired and natural glaze has also formed, creating a wonderful appearance. ・It has a slightly sour smell, so it is likely from a dig. ・Unfortunately, it has been repaired by joining two broken pieces, but it is an old repair with lacquer, and it has already blended in and is firmly and securely adhered. In addition, it is very skillfully joined, and there are no snags when you touch the surface. ・There are some scratches, but they are not unpleasant or unsightly, and they do not detract from the charm of this jar. ・It is a rare old Echizen unfired jar. For those who understand the charm and rarity of this jar, thank you. ・We will offer it at a special price. ●Please purchase only if you understand antiques and used items. ●Please consider your purchase after carefully viewing the product images. ●If you have any questions, please comment before purchasing. ●Please refrain from returning the item after purchase because you do not like it or intentionally damage it. ●We are not responsible for damage during shipping. ●We ask for transactions that do not betray the mutual trust between us.
