Japanese Mugiwara pottery emerged in the Mino region of Japan during the Momoyama period in the late 16th century. It is renowned for its distinctive straw-rope patterns etched into or painted on its surfaces that typically contains hues of indigo, mustard, hazel, ochre, and sometimes greens. The creation of Mugiwara pottery involves a process of hand-building or wheel-throwing clay pieces—typically serving dishes, vases, and teaware items—and then meticulously applying a straw-rope pattern before firing in kilns at very high temperatures. Enjoying its heyday all throughout the Edo period, this technique has been preserved by generations of dedicated artisans and persists today, though, the best examples I have come across over the years tend to be antique, as this piece appears to be.
In fine antique condition with no chips or cracks, this piece is 4 inches in diameter at its widest point (10cm) and stands 4 inches tall (10cm). It comes with a custom fit box lined with cotton batting and with a protective wrapping cloth. *** International shipping and insurance is included in the price.
