Description
Japanese Antique Karatsu Pottery Vase – Late Edo Period – Kintsugi Repair – PV265
This is a beautiful example of Japanese antique Karatsu ware pottery from the late Edo period (mid-19th century). With its earthy tones and gently flared shape, this vase reflects the rustic elegance typical of Karatsu ceramics, which were highly prized for tea ceremony and daily use in historical Japan.
Crafted from stoneware with a natural ash glaze, the vase showcases subtle wheel-thrown lines and warm gradients from brown to beige. The form and finish emphasize both simplicity and function—a key characteristic of Karatsu ware's aesthetic philosophy.
This piece would make a charming addition to any Japanese antique collection or rustic interior decor. The presence of kintsugi (golden lacquer repair) on the rim adds a poetic touch, embodying the Japanese spirit of embracing imperfection.
