Description

A LARGE KARATSU WARE JAR, WITH KINTSUGI REPAIRS, MOMOYAMA–EARLY EDO PERIOD
This lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserve

Japan, 16th-17th century. Of globular form, supported on a short straight foot and rising to a tall neck fitted with a flat everted rim, finely painted with brushed iron to the exterior with a bird feeding on stocks of rice and brush clover, all against an ochre and cream brushed glazes on a granular brownish clay body.

Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. Acquired between circa 1965-2012.
Condition: Good condition with old wear and firing irregularities including glaze recesses, pitting, burst bubbles, kiln grit, flaking, and age cracks. Scattered nicks and scratches, some fritting, small chips, and signs of use. Fine kintsugi repairs to the body and rim.

Dimensions: Height 28.3 cm

When contemplating a vessel repaired with kintsugi, several aesthetic considerations come into play. The first is the recognition that many ceramics, especially those used in chanoyu, often have a lineage of owners, or a distinguished provenance, and the act of repair allows that act of passing down the object to continue past the generation when the damage occurred. Another is that a given vessel, having been handmade, can never be perfectly reproduced or replaced, and so repair is preferable to losing the object completely. A third, and perhaps the most difficult to describe in words, are the Japanese concepts of wabi and sabi, the former an appreciation of poverty, an undemanding nature, and imperfection, and the latter a recognition that things change over time, often in the direction of altered patina or decay. It is these concepts that allow the damage that an object has sustained to be highlighted with gold, emphasizing the repair rather than trying to hide it. Finally, while aesthetic considerations are key in the use of gold in a kintsugi repair, the restoration of the object to usefulness, returning the vessel to functionality as a jar is the driving force behind this act.
