A very impressive Japanese Bizen tokkuri, the body shaped like a short length of bamboo with a shoot bursting from the side. It displays an impressive show of random markings created during the firing. The purposely squashed sides enable the tokkuri to be comfortably held in one hand. Edo period, late 18th century.
The base carries a simple impressed potters mark. According to the book, "Bizen ware. A Catalogue of the Chater Collection" by James Orange (Yokohama 1916), this mark was used by a potter named Tongu Saburobei who worked in the Meiwa Period (1764-72). 9.1/4 inches (23.5cm) high.
