{"product_id":"tb377-kyo-yaki-karatsu-mizusashi-京焼","title":"TB377 - Kyō-yaki Karatsu mizusashi 京焼","description":"\u003cp\u003eVintage item, never used. A refine mizusashi (水指 \/ fresh-water jar) made in Kyoto by Heian Omuro-gama (平安御室窯), a kiln working within the tradition of Kyō-yaki (京焼). The piece is executed in a Chōsen Karatsu-style (朝鮮唐津) glaze, creating a dramatic contrast between warm iron-brown tones and flowing milky white glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cylindrical body has a strong, balanced form, with two small vertical lug-like details at the sides. Around the upper section, the glaze develops into a rich chestnut-brown band before cascading downward in pale white and bluish-grey tones. The flowing glaze creates natural vertical streaks and soft pooled areas, giving the surface a spontaneous and expressive appearance characteristic of Karatsu-inspired tea ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vessel is completed with a fitted black lacquer lid (塗蓋), whose glossy finish creates an elegant contrast with the earthy ceramic body. In the tea ceremony, a mizusashi holds fresh water used during the preparation of matcha and is one of the principal utensils placed beside the kettle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term Chōsen Karatsu (朝鮮唐津) refers to a celebrated Karatsu glaze style in which contrasting dark iron glaze and lighter straw-ash glaze interact during firing. The resulting runs, overlaps and tonal transitions are highly prized for their natural, unpredictable beauty. In this Kyoto-made interpretation, that rustic Momoyama-inspired aesthetic is combined with the refined sensibility associated with Kyō-yaki.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 17 x 17 x 17cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58074982842699,"sku":"TB377","price":69.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/Cover_1002cab2-890e-4747-b020-bc9543b876ba.jpg?v=1786187908","url":"https:\/\/fr.maisonkyo.be\/fr\/products\/tb377-kyo-yaki-karatsu-mizusashi-%e4%ba%ac%e7%84%bc","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
