The size of Covered Bowl: 7 1/8" Dia x 4 1/4" High to top of cover knob. This is very Shibui Awata Yaki, Kyo Taki Covered Bowl made by Kinkozan from Edo period. The material is same type Kyoto Satsuma fine crackle glazing body. It is very finely made the wall thickness of only 3mm on bowl as well as the cover. It has the design of Peony(Botan) flower done in Korean style. Design done in Sabie which has painting design before glazing over. This type of design were popular also among Ninsei or Kenzan. The cover knob is done in open work of shippon. It came with very old wooden box but no cover. It showing Awatayaki, Futamono(Awata ware and Covered one). The condition of covered Bowl excellent, no chip, no crack and no hairline. The cover fit perfectly inside bowl as well as moveing around very smoothly. It surely take special skil to make this type Awata Yaki piece. It has Dating from middle Edo to later Edo period. It is made by Kinkozan Sobei. I do not know which generation of Kinkozan in Edo period. Kinkozan was well known by Kyo Satsuma with lavish gold work in Meiji period but this is rather simple Japanese style work with Sabi-E work. Sabi-E was the technique used by painted with iron rust over bisque finish. This technique was main work for early Awata Yaki before Ninsei introduced Iro-e( color over glazing) in middle Edo period. Awata Yaki(Awata ware) Sanmonjiya Kyuuemon, the first ceramist of Awata, is said to have been come from Seto; one of the famous Japanese pottery production area located in current Aichi prefecture. Therefore, early period of Awatayaki glaze is similar to Seto Ware glaze. Also, potteries of Shigaraki Utsushi (Shigaraki style) of earthen ware as well as Kohrai Utsushi (Korean style) were made, according to some historical records.(excerpts from Awata History by my freind in Kyoto, who is the only one descendant of Awata Yaki artist. He is reviving Awata Yaki in Kyoto. ) You can view Awata Yaki history at www.awatayaki.com/historical%20overview.htm |
