Ninsei: water jar with tendril scroll design, brush-mark slip under whiteglaze, known as “Mangetsu”

Height 12.6 cm, mouth diameter 10.6 cm, body diameter 21.2 cm
　Bottom diameter 10.1cm
　This piece was made using the so-called “carved brushwork” technique, but unlike Korean ceramics, it has an elegant finish that is unique to Kyoyaki. The body of this flat suisashi has a low, low rise at the mouth and a gently tapered shoulder. The body is decorated with arabesque patterns in a brushwork pattern and glazed with a cloudy white glaze, similar to the technique used in the previous painting. The bottom is stamped with the large seal of Ninsei.
