A meek mouse huddles between erratic designs on the crackled-cream colored surface of this lidded container dating from the later 19th century Awata Kilns of Kyoto. It is 17 cm diameter, 11 cm tall and in excellent condition.
Awata, or Awataguchi, was the end of the Tokaido road connecting Kyoto and the Edo period capital of Tokyo. Potteries began there in the opening years of the Edo period.
