Evoking the rustic charm of old Japan, this beautiful hand-thrown stoneware storage bottle captures the authentic spirit of traditional ceramic craftsmanship. Likely made in a countryside kiln, the vessel features a natural ash-toned glaze with a warm, tactile surface and expressive calligraphic markings brushed boldly across the front. The characters appear to be Japanese kanji—possibly 川 (kawa, meaning “river”) and 七 (shichi, meaning “seven”)—which may have once served as a maker’s mark, batch code, or merchant identifier, adding a sense of history and functional purpose.
Standing 10 inches high and measuring 6 inches wide and 6 inches deep, this substantial jar weighs 3 pounds and carries a pleasing presence that makes it ideal for display on a shelf, mantle, tabletop, or within a curated vignette. Good antique condition with light signs of surface wear. there is chip to the base that was glazed over which was an imperfection when produced. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.
Pieces like this were historically used for everyday storage—sake, oils, pickling, and provisions—making it a true artifact of daily life in a bygone era. Whether showcased in a wabi-sabi interior, paired with modern décor for a striking contrast, or collected for its cultural significance, this atmospheric bottle is a timeless and soulful example of Japanese pottery tradition.
