Thank you for viewing. This item is a lidded ceramic jar by Seikouen, featuring an elegant white glaze and a hand-painted bamboo motif. The pale, soft, milky-white clay body, combined with the refined brushwork of the subdued cobalt blue and iron-brown painting, creates a distinguished aesthetic, making it a piece of high artistic value. The exterior features a well-proportioned, constricted body. The rim exhibits the aged beauty created by fine crackling, offering a sense of the wabi-sabi aesthetic unique to Japanese ceramics. The lid is designed with an iron-glazed handle, showcasing a high level of completeness in both form and functionality. The bottom retains clear wheel marks, confirming the careful wheel-throwing technique of the potter. The included cloth is stamped with the "Seikouen" mark, further authenticating the piece's quality. This ceramic work is recommended for lovers of Japanese ceramics and tea ceremony utensil collectors, as it makes an excellent small jar, tea leaf container, or decorative vase. The condition is excellent, with no major damage. The natural color variations and crackling in the glaze can be enjoyed as part of its inherent character. #Ceramics #Seikouen #JapaneseCeramics #LiddedVessel #BambooMotif #Antique #Jar #TeaUtensils #Crafts #JapaneseInterior
