A fine early to mid 19th century kettle for serving sake from the Imari region of Kyushu, one of the main porcelain centers in Japan. It is 19 x 15 x 20.5 cm (including the handle) and is in excellent condition.
Imari ware, also known as Arita ware, is a type of Japanese porcelain that originated in the early 17th century in the town of Arita, located in present-day Saga Prefecture. The history of Imari pottery can be traced back to the arrival of Korean potters in Japan following Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasions of Korea (1592-1598). These skilled artisans brought with them the knowledge and techniques of porcelain production, which they applied using the local kaolin clay found in Arita. Irt was one of the first and would remain one of the most important porcelain centers in Japan through to the modern age.
