Japanese Mino Mizusashi Tea Ceremony 
Jar

Edo Era, 17-19c. This water jar may originate from Mino or another provincial kiln, it is a coil built squat compressed and modeled form made with a fitted lid, the base and lid with string cut marks, both, with partial applied asymmetrical exterior glazing, with an unmarked box. The Mizusashi, also known as the fresh water jar, is of particular importance among tea utensils used for tea ceremony. Generally brought into the room by the host, it is made to be a reasonable weight when filled with water, and at the same time as a relatively larger piece, to work harmoniously with the utensils as whole. 8.5 x 6", 16.2 x 21.4 cm , very good condition, some inside rim chips repaired in gold.
