{"product_id":"antique-japanese-ceramics-9","title":"CUP, Sue Ware, Kofun Period（250-581CE）","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe cup (tsuki) is one of the few vessel forms that has persisted from the emergence of Sue ware until the end of that period. \u003cbr\u003eIt serves a function akin to that of a modern tea bowl, representing a universal shape that has endured from ancient pottery to the present day. \u003cbr\u003eConsequently, I believe it can be regarded as a standard for observing the variations in daily life and ceramic styles throughout different eras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor instance, archaeological reports indicate that a collection of vessels unearthed from the dwelling of a family engaged in agriculture and pastoralism in the 6th century included \"1 Sue ware cup body, 3 lids, 5 earthenware cups, 6 earthenware pots of various sizes, 1 clay steamer, and 2 Sue ware ewers.\" This assemblage reflects what can be considered an average set of dining ware from that time, and the cup serves as a clue to understanding how people lived during that era. Archaeology is indeed fascinating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe form of this piece, characterized by gently rising sides from a high foot, is typical of the 7th century. \u003cbr\u003eIts thin construction and the firm, gray surface convey a sense of tension when touched.\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. \u003cbr\u003eI believe this speaks to the depth of purpose it embodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether tossing wildflowers or preparing tea, I believe it invites enjoyment in myriad ways.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROCANIIRU COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44832218153241,"sku":null,"price":9400.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/9911\/1193\/products\/rcnir-2023-00000642.jpg?v=1752157754","url":"https:\/\/rcnir.com\/en-ph\/products\/antique-japanese-ceramics-9","provider":"入蘆花（ロカニイル）","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
