Agano-yaki Ceramic Bottle
Type:
Material:
Age:
Origin/Maker: Possibly Agano-yaki. Or possibly old green glazed Shigaraki.
Size: 14.5"
Weight:
Provenance: T L Gurley Antiques
Collected: 5 AUG 2016
Condition:
Subject: The second bottle I'm not sure about (I'd guess Agano-yaki, but I really have no idea; it had no label), but it has a fantastic glaze and appears to have some age. It measures 14.5" tall. Again, probably for sake.
Both bottles came from the same estate. The dealer I got them from said the original owner had made it his goal to visit all the old Japanese kiln towns, and apparently he had a large collection of Japanese ceramics. This dealer said that he was the first to pick at the estate after LACMA, the USC Pacific Asia Museum, and someone from Christies.
