Mid-Edo Period Mamezara Incense Holder

Small Mamezara from the Mid-Edo Period

When firing pottery in the kiln, pieces were stacked with small bits of clay placed between them to prevent sticking.
These marks, known as me-ato, are a signature of old ceramics.

This small dish features warm textures and colors,
with an uneven glaze that harmonizes beautifully.
Though modest in size, it holds a strong presence.

From the distant Edo period long ago,
this piece invites you to observe, feel, and enjoy its story.

A truly wonderful vessel.
