Karatsu ware is a traditional style of Japanese pottery from Saga Prefecture, known for its simplicity, durability, and use in tea ceremonies. It originated in the Azuchi-Momoyama period (16th century) and incorporates techniques from Korea. Various styles exist, with distinct earthy colours and iron-based under-glazes. Karatsu ware is often celebrated for embodying the wabi-sabi aesthetic, emphasising rustic beauty and imperfection. It remains one of the most esteemed types of pottery in Japan.
This gourd-shaped pair yunomi is decorated with under-glaze iron-brush pine-tree illustrations. A charming set, perfect for tea. less
