188. Karatsu sherds
Twelve sherds from the Karatsu kilns (唐津焼, Karatsuyaki) in western Kyushu. According to the seller, these came from a rubbish dump near a kiln that flourished in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Three of the identifiable pieces are spouts from katakuchi, two are portions of a small teacup; three appear to be from the same flattish dish with curved sides; and the rest are portions of bowls of some sort.
Purchased in April 2022 from Art and Antique 28, Gifu City, Japan.
