{"product_id":"antique-japanese-ceramics-44","title":"SMALL FLAT BOTTLE, Sue Ware, Nara Period（710–794CE）","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe flat bottle features a slightly flattened body with a neck that is affixed to one side, making it well-suited for pouring liquids. This form originated in the early seventh century and continued to be produced through the Nara and Heian periods. Early examples exhibit a more rounded body, but by the Nara period, as seen in this piece, distinct ridges began to appear at the shoulder, and the body became increasingly flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular piece is small enough to fit comfortably in one hand and was crafted not for pouring sake, but as a water dropper for calligraphy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts elegant form evokes the beauty of flowers. After filling it with water for about an hour, there were no signs of leakage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROCANIIRU COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44832287064345,"sku":null,"price":272.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/9911\/1193\/products\/rcnir-2023-00002856.jpg?v=1752157292","url":"https:\/\/rcnir.com\/en-ie\/products\/antique-japanese-ceramics-44","provider":"入蘆花（ロカニイル）","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
