Water Pot for the Tea Ceremony, anonymous, c. 1920
turning, h c.30cm More details
Ceramists from Kyoto often collaborated with painters, who added the decoration. This water pot was made by an unknown potter and then ornamented by Takeuchi Seiho, a well-known print designer and painter. The young pine branches are a New Year’s motif, so this water pot was intended for a tea ceremony at that time of the year.
