Description

Vintage Japanese Tsubo Pot (SKU 25D-344)

Showa-era tsubo-style storage pot with rich, earthy brown glaze

This vintage Japanese pot embodies the quiet strength of mid-20th century mingei (folk craft) pottery. Wheel-thrown in a classic tsubo silhouette, it has a broad shoulder, short neck and slightly everted lip, giving it a grounded, architectural presence ideal for wabi-sabi interiors.

The surface is coated in a deep iron-brown glaze with natural variations, from glossy chocolate tones to mossy, ash-like speckling. Subtle throwing rings and kiln-fired texture remain visible, while the unglazed foot shows the original clay body, emphasizing its utilitarian roots as a storage vessel now perfectly suited for display, ikebana, or sculptural décor.

  • Origin: Japan
  • Era: Showa period (circa 1950s)
  • Material: Stoneware with iron-rich glaze
  • Use: Former storage / utility tsubo, now decorative vase or interior accent
  • Features: Hand-thrown folk pottery; warm brown showa-era glaze; natural kiln-fired pitting and ash-like speckling; visible throwing rings; unglazed, weathered base; strong wabi-sabi character
  • Dimensions: 10" Diameter x 12 1/2"H
  • Condition: Excellent vintage condition with intentional firing irregularities and minor wear consistent with age

A quietly powerful piece of Japanese folk craft that brings authentic Showa-era warmth to any space.

 

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
