This listing is for a large and very robust Takatori-ware tsubo made around 40-50 years ago. It is wheel-thrown and features cream coloured ‘nuka’ rice husk glaze over a partially transparent brown coloured base. The opening is wide enough to accommodate a large display of long stemmed flowers, and it’s very suitable for displaying dried flowers. This piece may be unsigned (it’s possible that the signature is covered by glaze), and there’s no wooden storage box. This item is large and heavy (6775grams) so shipping is set for SAL Sea Mail (11-12 weeks) to all available destinations. An upgrade for EMS Express available upon checkout.
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.
