Late Edo period (19c) Ko Sanda ware Celadon Mizusashi (water container) made in the Chinese Bagua (eight trigrams) Cong style.
Formerly in the collection of Ikeda family.

Sanda ware refers to celadon porcelain produced near Sanda City in Hyogo Prefecture.
The Sanda kiln was opened around the middle of the Edo period and was completed during the Kansei era by Uchida Chube (1789–1840). During the Bunka-Bunsei era ( 1804-1830), Kinkodo Kisuke ( 1765–1837) and other master potters were invited from Kyoto and led the kiln to a prosperous era firing excellent works.

For reference, see celadon porcelain box with peony design from Late Edo period currently in the collection of Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum.

Ikeda clan was a Japanese clan that claimed descent from Minamoto no Yorimitsu (948-1021) of the Seiwa Genji. Minamoto no Yasumasa, the fourth generation descending from Yorimitsu, and younger brother of Minamoto no Yorimasa (1104-1180), was the first to call himself 'Ikeda'.
In the Edo period, several of the clan's branches were daimyo families, most notably of the Tottori Domain and Okayama Domain. Takamasa Ikeda, former head of the Okayama Ikeda house was the husband of Atsuko Ikeda, fourth daughter of Emperor Showa.
