Pair of small stoneware dishes, tentatively Japanese mamezara used as incense holders, possibly Edo period (1603–1868). Attribution is not certain. Low, flat-bottomed wells covered inside and over the rims in a pale grey-green glaze flecked with iron, with unglazed bases showing the speckled body and wheel marks. Each base has an old dealer label reading "SUNG": the earlier owner catalogued them as Chinese Song dynasty.
Mamezara, "bean plates", are the smallest dishes on a Japanese table, and the same little dishes were used to hold incense.
Each 3.25" diameter, 0.75" high.
