JAR, Sue Ware, Kofun Period (250–581 CE)

This jar, a fine example of Sue ware from the Kofun Period (3rd-7th century), features a short neck adorned with a single raised band, leading to a spherical body.
Its pale, high-quality clay is coated with ash glaze, creating a striking contrast between the natural glaze and the ash deposits, which together form a captivating visual landscape on the surface of the vessel.
The jar has a rounded bottom, allowing it to be displayed in a rolling position, adding to its aesthetic appeal.

A drop-in vase insert is included for floral arrangements.

To display the jar upright, please place a circular bundle of straw or a rolled piece of paper wrapped with hemp cord beneath it. Refer to the final photograph for guidance.
