Mizuno pottery 水野焼

It is Raku-ware from around the Bunsei era to the Tenpo era.
Mizuno Dewanokami Tadakira who was an Edo Senke tea master and student of Kawakami Fuhaku, invited a potter named Michitaro to his own mansion in Tatsunokuchi in Edo and let him make Raku-ware work.
With the death of Tadakira in 1838, the kiln was abandoned and the period of production period was short, so there are very few existing works. However, it is believed that he was able to get guidance at the recommendation of Kawakami Fuhaku, a master whose Raku-ware technique was close to that of the ninth generation Ryonyu.
