Chōshi with, enamelled ware

These long sake bottle choshi are almost identical in shape, and it is assumed that they were popularly made at one time. The body of the choshi with a peony design in overglaze enamels has a chrysanthemum-shaped lid with a chrysanthemum-shaped mouthpiece on the back, and an arabesque design centered on the mouthpiece.
　The spout is partially damaged and has been repaired. The bottom is in guttation form and has rounded legs on all four sides. The body of this sake bottle has a peony and plum bowl design in overglaze enamels, the ground is filled with red lines and the handle is painted in red. The four corners of the bottom have legs, and the bottom is decorated with a wood grain design in black lines, with green paint applied on top. It is estimated to have been made around the Kanbun period (1644-1644), but there are few examples of such rare vessels. This choshi with a willow heron design in overglaze enamels is almost the same shape as the choshi with a peony design in overglaze enamels, but it has a willow design on two sides of the body, one of which is decorated with two herons. The main colors used in the painting are blue and green, with red used only for some of the flowers and plants.
