Title	Tea caddy for thick tea with Zeze glaze
Description	This chaire is fashioned in the popular high-shouldered (katatsuki) form with glaze work typical of the Zeze kilns. The shifuku (cover) that accompanies it is fashioned from a satin (donsu) fabric known as Fujitane (a family name), which bears a plum flower motif over a ground called hishi manji.

The piece is housed in a paulownia box bearing calligraphy that describes its provenance.
