This impressive heavily potted Japanese ceramic bowl is boldly decorated with irises and grasses in brown iron oxide on a richly-crackled cream ground with a thick mottled copper green drip glaze on the upper interior lip rim.

Looking very much like a chasen or tea whisk, this unusual folk ceramic stoneware sake bottle (“tokkuri”) is glazed in a rich almost iridescent dark brown glaze and likely hails from the Seto kilns of the mid to late 19th century. Iron brown glaze covers the ribbed body, and black glaze splashed around the neck flows down into the ribs, further accentuating the bamboo whisk shape. The foot rim and base are unglazed. One of the six ancient kilns of Japan, Seto is a high fired ceramic ware produc ...click for details
