Antique Japanese Seto Hibachi — Blue & White Porcelain, 1920s, Taisho Era
A Hearth of Beauty: Tranquility in Blue and White

This antique Japanese hibachi from the 1920s Taisho era is a captivating fusion of functionality and artistry. Crafted in the renowned Seto ware tradition, it features a rich cobalt blue underglaze landscape—rolling mountains, temple rooftops, and flowing rivers—painted in poetic harmony across its porcelain surface. Each brushstroke evokes the serene spirit of traditional Japanese life, turning a utilitarian vessel into a visual meditation.

Its gently rounded form and deep, intricate patterning offer a timeless appeal, gracefully blending antique character with contemplative charm.
