The Haji ware, which traces its lineage back to the pottery of the Yayoi period, is a collective term for the reddish-brown earthenware produced from the Kofun period to the Heian period (250-581 CE).
These vessels come in a remarkable variety of sizes and forms, serving purposes such as the storage of water and grains, cooking, and offerings for rituals.

This piece is a wide-mouthed jar, known in the Kanto region as Izumi-style, characterized by its unglazed earthenware. It was utilized in various ceremonial contexts.

Its elegant silhouette invites floral arrangements.
It features a dropper, making it an exquisite choice for a flower vase.
