About the Item

This is a wonderful pair of 19th century Octagonal Choshi or Sake Ewers that was created during the late Edo or Meiji Period. The Choshi are composed of an Octagonal finely cast iron kettle with and open end spout which differentiates them from the traditional Japanese tea kettle.The body of the Choshi is finely cast with raised shell, wave and chrysanthemum detailing. The brass handle is attached to the body by brass chrysanthemum knobs and small raised iron chrysanthemum holders. The brass lid surmounted by a tiny brass chrysanthemum finial; the kettle is raised on three tiny cast iron feet. Both Choshi are in overall very good condition and retain their wonder natural patina. One finial is slightly bent and loose.
