This listing is for a gourd-shaped Takatori-ware vase made around 30 years ago. It is wheel-thrown and decorated with light coloured rice husk glaze over a dark brown glazed base. The surface features tobikanna chattering tool markings, and the opening of the vase is just wide enough to fit a few thin stemmed flowers. A small arrangement of autumn leaves would suit this piece nicely. It comes with its original signed wooden storage box, but please note that the vase itself is unsigned.
Takatori-ware refers to pottery produced in Fukuoka, Kyushu. The first Takatori potters were of Korean descent, and production was heavily controlled by the local feudal lords. Takatori-ware gets its name from the location of the first kiln, Takuma Gama, built at the base of Mt. Takatori. Takatori-ware uses a variety of glazes ranging from blue, green, and various shades of brown. It is generally wheel-thrown and made using high-fired stoneware clay.
