Tea caddy of Kinkazan type

This is a relatively large and stately tea caddy, coated with gold brown glaze. The unglazed bottom is finished with “itokiri” (a mark left by string which separated a tea caddy from the potter’s wheel when it was being created), showing a beautiful spiral mark.
According to the “Cha-ki Bengyokushu (a treatise on tea ware)”, the Kinkazan is a type of Seto ware, named after the color of the earth on and around Mt. Kinka. The features of this ware are its gold brown color, hard clay, beautiful itokiri patterns and neatly rolled lip.
This example includes these features. However, it has one unusual aspect. It was made using counterclockwise wheel rotation, which is different from the usual method of throwing Seto ware with the wheel turning clockwise.
