| Regal purple rushes down over pale crackled green wispy streaks on this thin walled Bairin Yaki Tea Container enclosed in a fine period Kiri-wood shiho-box. The aubergine colored lid is recessed into the opening, with a 7 lobed knob in the center. The piece is 5 inches 12.5 cm) tall, -1/2 inches (11 cm) diameter and in fine condition but for some chips in the foot which appear to have occurred when separating it from the kiln floor upon firing. Bairin Yaki was a resurrection of the ancient Omi style of ceramic called Zeze favored by Kobori Enshu and Honami Koetsu. Zeze Yaki died out in the mid 1600s, but was reestablished by Odawara Ihe-e sometime during the Tenmei Era (1781-1789), with brighter colors. It was, however not long lived, and appears to have died out again sometime in the 1840s. An unusual opportunity for the collector of Japanese ceramics. | |||||||||||||
