This cylindrical spice container, crafted by Baizan Kiln, a renowned producer of Tobe ware, showcases the sometsuke technique—also known as blue and white porcelain.

The elegant arabesque pattern is hand-painted in vivid cobalt blue on a background of rustic white porcelain, creating a refined contrast. Perfect for serving condiments and pickles such as umeboshi (pickled plums), it embodies the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship

Its large size offers ample storage of condiments, while its thick construction ensures durability and stability. Additionally, its lid makes transportation easy and keeps food clean and hygienic.

The elegantly simple arabesque pattern is painted by hand using a special technique called tsuketate. This method involves drawing each design in a single brushstroke without outline, showcasing the dynamic flow of every stroke.
