Description

Kurawanka is a type of ware that was made for everyday use during the period of about 1690-1850. This bowl dates from the earlier part of that timeline. I put it in the 1690-1730 period. There are areas of crawling that are typical on Japanese porcelain from that period. The color of the gosu, Japanese cobalt, is also more commonly found in the earliest Imari. Kurawanka also has a history in the Osaka-Kyoto river area. There were boats that plied the river selling food. The food was served on dishes that came from the Hasami area in Hizen, the home of Imari. After eating the dishes were tossed overboard into the river.
