Product Details

This Japanese tsubo jar comes from Tokoname, one of Japan’s oldest and most renowned pottery regions.

Traditionally, it was used during tea ceremonies to store water or dried tea leaves.

Dimensions: Height 49 cm, diameter 34 cm

The jar has a robust, tapered shape with a narrow neck. Its rough, organic texture and deep brown-black base are covered with a subtle white ash glaze, applied unevenly to create a beautifully weathered effect.

The surface showcases natural earthy tones, characteristic of traditional wood-fired ceramics. Notable details include the carved grooves around the upper part, adding a rhythmic decorative element. Additionally, visible old Japanese metal repairs enhance its unique, timeworn character.

With its rustic charm and historical significance, this antique Tokoname tsubo jar is a remarkable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese interiors and wabi-sabi aesthetics.
