A Ki-Seto chawan-type bowl, possibly a mukōzuke. Seto, Owari province. 19th century

Height 6.8 cm; diameter 10 cm

Katō Shuntai 加藤春岱 (1802-1877) was born into one of the three official pottery workshops (okameya 御窯屋) that worked for the Owari Tokugawa clan. He is considered the most outstanding potter of the late Edo period in Seto, who also presided over the Ofuke 御深井 kiln. He was extraordinarily productive and versatile and is considered together with Hirasawa Kurō (1772-1840), one of the initiators of the "Momoyama revival". This term is used to describe the faithfully copied or reinterpreted early ceramics from Mino (Shino, Ki-Seto and Oribe). The potters of the 19th century used the old pieces in the collections of the Owari Tokugawa family and rich merchants as models.
