Small white zogan inlays form flower-like motifs across a beige body, the carved surface revealing traditional mishima pottery technique brought from the Korean Peninsula. At H 8.4in × W 4.5in, the vessel's modest capacity suits placement beside a furo or on a utensil shelf. Its 890 g weight and pottery construction make it sturdy yet refined. Equally suited to storing water for the kettle or to quietly holding a single stem, it complements wabi sabi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 20px;\"\u003e * Style: Mishima pottery (Mishima-yaki), zogan inlaid pottery\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 20px;\"\u003e * Use: japanese tea water jar for tea ceremony tools and kettle water\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 20px;\"\u003e * Dimensions: H 8.4in × W 4.5in (about H 21.3cm × 11.5cm)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 20px;\"\u003e * Weight: 890 g (32.7 oz)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 20px;\"\u003e * Material: pottery, ceramic\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 20px;\"\u003e * Condition: very good\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 20px;\"\u003e * Alternate use: mishima yaki vase for simple seasonal flower display\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 20px;\"\u003e * Vendor: Wabisabi Antiques — suitable for traditional tea decor and japanese summer tea settings\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrigin and technique\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mizusashi reflects the Mishima-yaki tradition, a decorated pottery style brought to Japan from the Korean Peninsula. The surface displays carved patterns filled with white clay using the zogan (inlaying) method; the resulting contrast of beige body and white motifs is characteristic of mishima pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePractical use and display\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a japanese tea water jar, the shape and capacity respond to summer tea procedures when a slim, cooler-looking mizusashi is preferred beside a brazier or furo. The tall, modest form also makes a refined mishima yaki vase for a single stem or seasonal sprig, allowing the vessel to shift from active tea ceremony tools to contemplative traditional tea decor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterials, size, and care\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade of pottery\/ceramic, the vessel is solid at 890 g and stands H 8.4in × W 4.5in. To preserve the zogan inlaid pottery surface, avoid sudden temperature shocks and clean gently with a soft cloth; do not use harsh detergents or abrasive pads. Store upright and allow any used water to be emptied and the interior air-dried.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition and provenance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWabisabi Antiques lists this piece in very good condition with clear zogan motifs and intact form.
