Tea-caddy – Aardewerk – China – Song dynasty or later

A stoneware tea-caddy, Song dynasty or later partially glazed with a faint green glaze, fitted with a custom wooden lid. The jarlet has been used by a Japanese tea-master as a 'caire' or tea-caddy for matcha green tea powder and thus comes with a cloth-wrapped tomobako box, a nice brocade silk shifuku pouch and wooden lid. The somewhat crudely glazed jarlet would be desirable due to wabi-sabi aesthetics in vogue with tea-masters.
