Based on its reddish-brown iron glaze, lightweight yet hard-fired body, and boldly altered form, it is attributed to the Tamba ware tradition. It comes with a later wooden storage box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vessel has a tall, slender silhouette with deep rounded facets pressed into the body, creating a sculptural and highly individual appearance. The surface is covered with a rich reddish-brown iron glaze, scattered with dark grey and black speckles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glaze resembles the warm chestnut-brown tones associated with \u003cem\u003ekurikawa-yu\u003c\/em\u003e, or “chestnut-skin glaze,” found on some late Edo-period Tamba wares. The body is surprisingly lightweight for its size, suggesting that it was carefully and relatively thinly formed despite its robust appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subtle distortion of the neck, irregular mouth, firing marks, glaze skips, and areas of surface loss reflect the character of traditional kiln firing and give the piece a strong \u003cem\u003ewabi-sabi\u003c\/em\u003e presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was originally made as a sake bottle but may also be enjoyed today as a single-flower vase or sculptural display piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 17.5 cm \/ 6.88 in\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 6.9 cm \/ 2.71 in\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 6.9 cm \/ 2.71 in\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 183 g \/ 0.40 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBox Dimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 24.7 cm \/ 9.72 in\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 9.0 cm \/ 3.54 in\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 9.0 cm \/ 3.54 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe item is in antique condition and shows signs of age and use.
