| 39 cm tall, 32 cm diameter. Good condition with a large chip at mouth, common to old tsubo. Dating to the beginning of th Edo Era, early 17c. This marvelous and simple four eared (looped) storage jar would have been used for grain or tea storage. The piece shows a variety of firing effects of the natural ash glazing. Ceramics at Tamba [Hyogo prefecture, Honshu (near Kyoto)] go back to the Kamakura era (1185-1334). Early production in the large number of kilns at Tamba was mostly of large naturally glazed utilitarian storage jars (Tsubo), wide mouthed jars (kame) and bowls for grating (suribachi). Early large pots were first made from clay coils and then finished on potters wheels, from which they were fired without applied glaze. From the kiln itself a natural green ash glaze was formed, often with dramatic results. Applied glazing and slip glazes began to be used around the beginning of the Edo Era. | ||
