This is a pottery called Tokoname ware.
Tokoname is a kiln located in Aichi prefecture, Japan.
It is said to have originated around the 12th century.
Also, in Japan, there are 6 kilns with a long history that are still going on.
It is one of them.(Tokoname Kiln is marked with a red circle on the map.)
It is believed to be a jar that contained seeds.

Depending on the flame in the kiln, a gradation of colors from brown to dark brown is created.
There are linear marks on the side of the vase. This is a pattern created intentionally using the tip of a spatula.
This is an important clue to the era, and the era of this vase is the Muromachi period (1400s-1500s).

There are also several missing parts around the mouth.
There is a crack in the neck part, but it has been glued together without any problems.

Due to its small size, it can be placed anywhere.
