SCABBARD, Ko-Shigaraki, Mitate (scabbard/flower vase), Muromachi Period (1336–1573 CE)

This is a diminutive piece, quite rare among the kiln tools of Ko-Shigaraki. It was crafted specifically for firing sake cups and similar items. Its graceful form evokes the beauty of wildflowers. We invite you to refer to the accompanying photograph featuring floral arrangements.

With no leaks, it can be enjoyed as a vase or a shallow basin for water.
