Danbo fired pottery

Danbo fired pottery

It is a ceramic artwork from the Muromachi period in 15th century Japan, collected by the Cleveland Museum of Art. This pottery jar is made of natural gray glazed stone tools, with a diameter of 39 centimeters and a total height of 45 centimeters. It was once used as a storage container for rice or other grains, and was the work of a potter in the Tanba region, a fertile area located in western Kyoto. This pottery jar is not only practical, but also showcases the aesthetic craftsmanship of Japanese Tanba ceramics. The Cleveland Museum of Art acquired this collection through Severance and Greta Millikin purchase funds.
