Shigaraki was Japan's most famous center for tea ceremony ceramics. After Sen No Rikyu, the founder of the Japanese tea ceremony, recommended Shigaraki-ware as the favored aesthetic for the sought after simple elegance of tea, Shigaraki boomed in Edo and Meiji Periods with a distinctive earthware and green glaze. This tea storage vessel embodies all the Shigaraki qualities. c.1880. (16" x 12") (40cm x 30 cm).

You can almost imagine sitting with Sen No Rikyu and enjoying a spring tea ceremony at a Kyoto tea house in the Edo Period. This Tetsubin comes from the famed Kobe Ironworks. It has a small opening cast into the side where a turtle can be seen climbing in as if onto a rock. This is a radical advant-garde piece and is one of only a few remaining original tea tetsubins. Extremely rare. Heavy item. c.1850. (10½" x 12") (27cm x 30cm).

From Takayama in central Japan, it is home of a type of lacquer called 'shunkei'. This involves a lacquering technique in which wood is first lightly stained and then coated with a clear yellow lacquer to produce a resistant coating and draw out the grain of the wood. Shunkei-ware was associated with the tea ceremony and was highly prized for the beautiful grain and texture of the wood which was visible through the lacquer. Comes in it's own pine box. c.1920. (10" x 10") (25cm x 25cm).
