Japanese Raku-Style Ceramic Teapot with Woven Cane Handle and Dragon Decoration

$175

Antiques & Decorative Arts · Meiji to Taisho Period, circa 1880–1920

A Japanese raku-style earthenware teapot of globular form, covered in a crackled off-white/celadon glaze with applied and painted dragon or floral motifs in iron-red and brown tones. The domed lid features pinhole steam vents and the same characteristic crackle glaze, while a woven rattan over-handle is lashed to ceramic lugs with black cord in traditional Japanese fashion. The overall aesthetic is consistent with Japanese export or tourist ware produced during the Meiji to Taisho periods, reflecting the wabi-sabi sensibility of raku tradition adapted for a broader market.
