| 7" tall, 3.5" wide. Edo Era, circa 1750-1800. Good condition with invisible restoration to neck. The Onda kiln has been operating in the mountains of Oite prefecture in Kyushu, Japan for some three hundred and fifty years, settled by Korean potters brought by Hideyoshi's invasion of that country at the start of the Edo Era. Wares from Onda are best known from the attention received by the men of the Mingei (folk art) movement. A current (fall 2001) exhibit at the Mingei museum in Tokyo features Onda pottery, and includes a very similar example to this marvelous sake bottle. | ||
