Storage Vessel: Tokoname Ware

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Storage Vessel: Tokoname Ware depicts a ceramic vessel with a wide body that tapers towards the top. The vessel has a brown base color with a lighter brown-green glaze on the upper half. A distinct line demarcates the glaze on the upper and lower halves of the vessel. The mouth of the vessel is wide and slightly chipped. The background of the image is dark grey, with the vessel casting a subtle shadow on the surface below.
