This is a perfect item for those who can sell overseas, such as on eBay. One item believed to be the same work is in the Hasami Museum. No others have been confirmed. I would prefer that it remain in Japan as a treasure and be cherished. Most ceramics have uncertain authenticity, but with Tou-tai Sometsuke, even amateurs can tell for sure by looking and touching. As you can see in the photos, the cracks are between the clay body and the glaze. Fakes have cracks on the surface, which is called "hibiyaki" (crack firing). The color that has seeped into the cracks shows the passage of 400 years. Tou-tai Sometsuke from Hasami ware, made in 1650 Only two pieces are confirmed to exist. Even amateurs can clearly tell the authenticity of this ceramic. It's obvious at a glance by looking and touching. Ceramics are often difficult to authenticate, so it's rare to find one that is so clear. The cracks were accidentally formed between the clay body and the glaze, a work of art created by chance. It is different from intentionally imitated "hibiyaki". "Hibiyaki" has cracks on the surface, so you can tell by touching it. This is said to have a skin that clings to you. Made 400 years ago, the passage of time has colored it, creating a very beautiful scenery. The design of poppy flowers is very skillfully drawn on the ceramic with sloping shoulders. A perfect piece for the alcove to welcome the New Year. A similar piece is in the museum's collection, and only these two works have been confirmed as existing. Height: 31cm Appraised value: ¥1,650,000 Based on the examination at the home of Hasami ware and the evaluation of several ceramic merchants at the pottery fair.
