Anotations

Scope note:

Refers generally to the style of glazed ceramic ware produced from the 12th century to the end of the 15th century. Early productions include ash-glazed bottles, bowls, dishes and jars with four small handles, similar to those produced in Sanage. In the 13th and 14th centuries, new kilns were built producing new shapes, patterns, iron glazed-wares and utensils for Buddhist rituals. Seto ware produced during the 15th and 16th century was mostly for household use, typically tea ceremony ware.
