Sake Tokkuri of oldest Oribe ware - Edo Period 495 $ already sold
From our Sake Tokkuri collection we offer you a very old example of oldest Oribe ware, made in the mid Edo Period, around 250 years ago.
Wonderful umanome design (horse eye) and vivid Oribe glaze.
Oribe ware, type of Japanese ceramics, usually glazed in blue or green and first appearing during the Keichō and Genna eras (1596–1624). The name Oribe is derived from Furuta Oribe, a pupil of Sen Rikyū, under whose guidance it was first produced.
Some Oribe utensils and functional objects were made in standard ceramic shapes and forms. Others, however, were deliberately deformed by a distortion or imbalance to create a new aesthetic sensibility. The blue-green vitriol glazes have the lustre of fine glass, and the decorative motifs, which are drawn in an iron glaze, have the same imaginative and modernistic feeling found in contemporary textiles and lacquerware. Many of the motifs are exotic, probably deriving from foreign imports arriving at the port of Sakai (just south of Ōsaka), which was also the original home of Sen Rikyū.
No cracks or repairs. Great condition.
Size: 7'' height, 3,05'' width.
Shipping included.

Large 3,3 kg Japanese Iga Ware Mizusashi 795 $ sold
Rugged, heavy, startlingly strong and breathtakingly beautiful, Iga ware has a special place in the heart of every collector of tea ceremony items. For many, it is the epitome of Japanese ceramics. From the combination of the potters' hands and the clay itself — at its best, Iga appears to be born rather than made. With Iga ware, nothing is hidden. You sense, see the and feel the clay; from the motion and actions of the potter to the random and somewhat accidental build up of transparent ash glazes from multiple firings.
Important 1800 - 1850 Iga-yaki (Iga ware) cold water container mizusashi (container that holds fresh water during the tea ceremony) with an extremely rare design of a trunk of a tree.
It has a fine black lid covered with a wonderful Japanese laquer.
We offer it together with a large wood box for storage.
No repairs, great antique condition. Only a few little stains on the edge of the lid, which are NOT visible, when the lid is on the mizusashi.
A real collectors item - hard to find.
