Splendid Japanese Kenzan Style Literati Mizusashi

A delightful fresh water container decorated with a vivid scene of scholars sharing tea out of doors ina combined literati/Kenzan style. It is created in the bold and decorative Kenzan manner, and shows Oribe coloring with a splash of amber at the rim; likely to have been produced somewhere in the Seto region during the Meiji period. On the lid is a tea pot stand, fire tongs and a feather for preparing the ash. All of the overglaze decoration is done in whimsical fashion, creating a bright and cheery atmosphere that is a pleasure to view. The piece is roughly 6 inches (15 cm) tall, 5 inches (12.5 cm) diameter and in excellent condition. Part of an extensive collection of teaware assembled from the Meiji to the early Showa era we have recently acquired, spanning several centuries of production.
