Ohi ware, originating from Kanazawa City in Ishikawa Prefecture, boasts a rich history and tradition spanning 350 years as a side kiln of Raku ware. Characteristically, it is shaped by hand without the use of a potter's wheel, with each piece meticulously crafted and refined using a spatula.

This piece is a modest incense container from the Edo Period, exemplifying the artistry of Ohi ware. The small kiln of Ohi ware employs a unique firing technique, rapidly raising the temperature before withdrawing the piece for a swift cooling. This abrupt temperature change, distinctive to both Raku and Ohi ware, often results in the appearance of subtle striations, which can be observed on this container.

Adorned with a rich amber glaze, this incense container exudes a quiet beauty, inviting appreciation for its understated elegance.
