Tsubo / Echizen
Kamakura Period 14th C, Echizen Tsubo
This Echizen tsubo-jar is a classic Kamakura 14th century form tsubo that is 21.8cm.tall and 19cm.wide at shoulders, kiln mark on shoulder--rare that is--and in perfect condition. When looking at older jars there are a few points that hint to age; form, lip, 'clay flavor,' base, and thickness of body. This piece comes from a major Tokyo collector and we were fortunate to obtain it. With an unsigned box, museum quality and such a piece is rarely seen outside Japan.
