Nanki-Takamatsu pottery 南紀高松焼

It is ceramics of Kii Province (Wakayama). It preceded Kosobe-ware, which prospered as Kishu Domain’s Oniwa-ware, opening its kiln in 1827. A potter called Sakiyama Rihe made trial pottery at a kiln at Wakayama castle town Takamatsu, and it is one type of pottery that was only fired for a short time and extremely few exist.

As with Otokoyama-ware, the style centers on blue and white dyed porcelain, and produced cylindrical shaped vases and tea implements. Again, hardly any Aka-e or painted works remain.
