{"product_id":"antique-japanese-ceramics-14","title":"CUP, Sue Ware, Kofun Period（250-581CE）","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe cup (tsuki) is one of the few vessel forms that has persisted since the emergence of Sue ware until its later periods. \n\u003cbr\u003eIt serves a function akin to that of modern tea bowls, acting as a daily dining utensil, and represents a universal shape that has continued from ancient pottery to the present day. \n\u003cbr\u003eThus, I believe it can serve as a standard for observing the variations in lifestyle and ceramic styles throughout different eras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor instance, a survey report indicates that artifacts unearthed from the dwelling of a family engaged in agriculture and pastoralism during the 6th century included \"1 Sue ware cup body, 3 lids, 5 earthenware cups, 6 earthenware cooking pots of various sizes, 1 clay steamer, and 2 Sue ware teapots.\" This collection is considered representative of the average dining ware of the time, and the cup provides insights into how people lived during that period. Archaeology is indeed fascinating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted with a thin profile, it features a hard, gray surface that has been meticulously fired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough the passage of time, it remains universally appealing, with even its wear and fraying possessing a certain beauty. \n\u003cbr\u003eI believe this reflects the depth of its utility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its water-retaining properties, it can also be enjoyed as a basin filled with water. \n\u003cbr\u003eImages showcasing its actual use can be found in the first and last photographs.
