This is a powerful ear-handled tea caddy (chaire) that reflects the rich tradition of Mino ware. It features the characteristic rustic texture of "Mino Karatsu," inspired by Karatsu styles, with a striking contrast created by a white, flowing glaze cascading from the shoulder. Despite its compact size, the small handles (ears) on either side provide a sculptural accent, giving it an air of ancient dignity. It is an aged piece that adds a sense of composure and class to any tea ceremony or collection. It comes with a beautiful shifuku (silk pouch), indicating it has been carefully preserved over the generations.
