A Kogaratsu tea caddy fired in the early Edo period (1600-1650). A thick Korean-style neck stands slightly open from the curvy torso, and a heavy black glaze applied to the side of the base. The work is reminiscent of Fujino- Kawauchi kiln, but it must have been made in another Matsuura-type kiln.

An old excavated piece for a long time inherited with a custom-made lid for tea caddy. There are few minor chips can be seen on the rim, but the condition is generally good. It come with a box.
