Taisho Oribe-Ware Toban Ceramic Tea Ceremony Tile, Japan, 1920s

This decorative ceramic tile was used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. The brazier (Furo) that heats the water sits on the tile, protecting the floor from the heat. The glaze and style of this tile suggest that it was crafted in the Oribe kiln. The sides are adorned with a decorative motif impressed into the earthenware. A rare and highly decorative accent in your interior. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark. This is extremely heavy and I will have to charge the highest amount that Posh allows me to ship. This is solid and feels like a brick. This came from an auction house and was sold for a lot more than listed price Approximately 11 x 11
