[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools water pitcher] Blue and white porcelain, auspicious design, gold dust bag, made by Hayashi Tanyu (Gozan Kiln)

● Water jar with blue and white porcelain auspicious gold dust bag...It is made by the same hand as the auspicious tangerine water jar, but this one is called the gold dust bag because of its shape.
The glaze base is white, and the blue and white color is auspicious and unique, with a slight purple tinge that is vibrant and beautiful. The overall shape is gently bulging downwards, the lid fits well to the body, and the handle is particularly skillfully crafted with a branch with leaves attached.
The painting is divided into three sections and features landscapes, treasures, and a chicken in each hand, and the lid has various round patterns.
As promised, the base is kamaboko shaped, made of sesame clay, and there is a blue-and-white inscription inside that reads "Made by Goryo Daihogo Shozui," making this a highly prized tea caddy.
