Container - Red Lacquer Katakuchi Pouring Vessel on Raised Foot - Lacquer

This striking Japanese lacquer vessel features a deep rounded bowl set on a high flared foot and fitted with an elongated pouring spout. The entire surface is finished in a warm vermilion-red lacquer, giving the piece a bold yet refined presence. Its sculptural profile combines practical function with a strong sense of balance, particularly in the contrast between the broad bowl, slender projecting spout, and architectural pedestal base.
The smooth lacquer surface shows subtle variations and traces of age, adding depth and character to the monochrome finish. Such katakuchi-type vessels were traditionally used for pouring liquids, including sake or water, and were valued for both utility and appearance. With its restrained decoration and distinctive silhouette, this piece reflects the elegance of traditional Japanese lacquerware and would make an impressive addition to a collection of Japanese decorative or ceremonial arts.
