Exquisite Japanese Ceramic Mizusashi (Water Vessel) – "Pines and Waves" (松に波)Crafted for the Traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony (Chado)
This stunning, high-quality ceramic vessel features a soft, pearlescent glaze adorned with a dramatic hand-painted landscape. Emerald pine trees rise above shimmering gold-leaf cliffs, surrounded by rhythmic, stylized ocean waves. A unique highlight is the sculpted lid handle, masterfully shaped like a green pine cone. In Japanese culture, the evergreen pine symbolizes longevity, resilience, and inner strength, while the waves represent life's continuous renewal and movement.
Authenticity & Artist:
The piece comes in its original, signed wooden storage box (Tomobako). The calligraphy and red artist stamp (hanko) on the box read 永善造 (Ei-zen zō), authenticating it as an original work by the artisan Eizen.
