Gofukai glaze small bottle Edo period/1603-1867CE

This small Gofukai glaze bottle exudes the quiet elegance of time. It is coated with ash glaze (Gofukai glaze), which was developed in Mino and Seto kilns in the early Edo period, and the pale yellow-green, transparent glaze creates a unique look.

The soft, rounded shape fits snugly in the palm of your hand, and the cracks that develop over time give it a mineral-like texture. That's the warmth of something handmade.
