This was just a few dollars, thought it would be a good research tool. Looks a lot like Ko Seto. But I haven't found a good match. The really good ones have incising and decoration, like this Brooklyn Museum example: https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/3872
30cm tall, just under a foot. Repair on the top rim. Any idea on age? Thanks, Todd

For Comparison

This is 18th Century Japanese stoneware; I believe it to be Seto.  The glaze on this example photographs similarly to American salt-glaze ware of the same period.  

The foot rim is different.

  I'm trusting Peter and the Yamanaka provenance for this piece.  Categorically, I don't know much about these wares.

 

For a few dollars, I would buy the bottle, and try to figure it out from there.

Hey Todd,

My guess is this is a bit earlier... Late Heian/Kamakura to Momoyama periods.   My understanding it they developed a foot-rim mid-16th century or so.  Here's my Seto bottles, one is 17the century ki-seto( also Yamanaka provenance) and one is 17/18th century copying Heian Ki-seto.  Also I would dig around on the Aichi Pref Museum, and here is a link to one 13th century bottle.

Really cool.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Hi Rahawk,

You have just solved a mystery for me, as I have one just like your's. Including the stamped(?) decorations just under the neck! Its nearly identical....from memory. I have to dig it out. When I find it, I will post pics here. But it could be a while.

Hi Jeremy,

What a great website. Thanks so much for the link. I have bookmarked it and will do some studying. 
I like your pair of Seto vases, really nice. I still have never come across an old one with that tiger striping. One day I will I think. 

Am very happy to get your positive opinion. It looked very old to me, but I am always hesitant to get my hopes up. I am, like most, not an expert on Japanese wares of this age. But this one really does have a beautiful matte olive shade. And I like the two-tone....whether intended or not. The pics do not quite do it justice. This shop has so many vases....somehow none of them look quite as good, lined up among a hundred others, as when I get them home.

Thought I would add this one to this thread. Just found this a month ago, then forgot about it. The form is very good. Possibly Edo? 

I thought it was for wine or sake. But then, when I picked it up to take pictures, my finger got coated with what looks like the remnants of soy sauce. So that seems to be its most recent utility.

@watership 

Hey Todd,

Very good chance this bottle is Edo, probably 18th/19th... I like the shape.

I think if I had my way and endless money I'd have a million bottles.  I love the shapes and the simple and complex glazes that were used for just plain old utilitarian things.

Nice Seto collection you've got there.

Jeremy

Adding another....just found this morning. 
Its a big one, 38cm (16"). The surface has me drooling. A wabi-sabi-dream from top to bottom. I think this is Edo also, not sure wherein. This is after a good scrubbing with dish-washing liquid. And I think there is a bit more dirt to get out. It seemed like 200 years of grime. Just filthy. Although it was still lovely...for my taste.  I love buying a dirty piece like this and watching the original beauty reappear after so long.

UPDATE:

Kilns in Seto have made pieces similar to the one I posted, but more recently.

I think this was originally made in Saga prefecture. Dating is still correct.
