{"product_id":"antique-japanese-ceramics-304","title":"OLD JAR \/ MIZUSASHI, Tamba, With wooden box, Edo Period（1603–1867CE）","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classical Tamba jar mizusashi from the Edo period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis old Tamba jar has a rounded, full-bodied form and a low, wide mouth. It swells prominently from the shoulder into the body and narrows toward the base; its powerful silhouette conveys a pronounced sense of mass. The opening is broad, and a lacquered lid is provided, the vessel having been used as a water jar for the tea ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface reveals a reddish-brown clay body, with a field of yellow-sesame spotting centered on the shoulder. Fine stone inclusions, kiln-induced roughness, and horizontal wheel marks overlap to create the robust, earthy expression typical of old Tamba. The flow is not conspicuous; rather, restrained yellow-sesame speckles are scattered across the surface, giving it a composed presence as a tea utensil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim bears a kintsugi repair. Rather than simply concealing the chips, the lines of gold contribute to the rim’s visual character, evoking the time it spent in use as a water jar. The interior has been treated to prevent leakage, leaving a strong sense of its use in the tea ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lacquered lid is included. Although the lid bears old marks, the sheen of the black lacquer harmonizes with the jar’s clay surface and gives the whole piece a pleasing cohesion. The rim has been mended with gold, the yellow‑sesame spotting is attractive, and the pairing with the lacquered lid is well judged — an antique Tamba that is readily suited to use at a tea gathering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim has been repaired with gold lacquer; the interior has been sealed to prevent leakage; the lacquered lid shows scratches. There are also kiln blemishes, pitting caused by stone inclusions, scuffs, and surface roughening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wooden storage box is included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROCANIIRU COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52744929444121,"sku":null,"price":504.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/9911\/1193\/files\/2026062816415.jpg?v=1782649951","url":"https:\/\/rcnir.com\/en-mt\/products\/antique-japanese-ceramics-304","provider":"入蘆花（ロカニイル）","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
