BUDDHIST ALTAR VASE, Ko-Seto, with a wooden stand, Kamakura Period（1185–1333CE）

This is a Buddhist altar vase from the Ko-Seto tradition, dating to the Kamakura Period (1185–1333 CE). The vase retains traces of ash glaze in various areas, showcasing a robust form that appears to emerge from the earth. It is said that it was customary for Ko-Seto Buddhist altar vases to have their mouths intentionally broken, which explains why most surviving examples exhibit damage or repairs. Notably, this piece maintains its original mouth intact, making it a remarkable specimen worthy of mention. It is highly recommended for any collection. A wooden stand is included.
