This is an old Karatsu mizusashi (water container). While old Karatsu ware is famous for plates, tokkuri (sake bottles), and guinomi (sake cups), this type is quite rare. The period is estimated to be from the Momoyama to the early Edo period. There are three dango-ato (marks left by clay balls) visible on the inside, suggesting that other items were placed inside during firing. Furthermore, the flow of glaze can be observed on the interior. The mizusashi does not have a lid. If you put a drop-in vase and use it as a flower vase, it is quite impressive. The height is 14 cm, the diameter of the mizusashi is 18.5 cm, and the diameter of the opening is about 10 cm. - Material: Pottery - Color: Brown - Shape: Cylindrical - Condition: Signs of use - Diameter: Wider at the top Thank you for viewing.
