Though this particular jar only left Vietnam relatively recently, it is an example of a thriving ceramic trade with Japan during the 16th and 17th century. Originally viewed as of lesser value, the rough quality of this kind of unglazed vessel became more popular as its place in the aesthetic of the Grass Hut tea ceremony grew more appreciated. Generically known as Namban ware, this specific form would have been called nawasudare, or rope curtain, in reference to the vertical ribbing on the si ...click for details

click for details		Mandalay Road Trading Company, Inc. (206) 855-0850 sold

The influences of Champa, India, and Cambodia were combined with the traditions of the Tang and Song dynasties to help create a unique ceramic tradition. Those with an ivory glaze, as this one, tend to be particularly original in style. This type of jar is also seen ...click for details
