| From late 19th century Japan, this underglaze blue and white ceramic bed warmer (yutampo) was filled with hot water, corked and used to warm the futon. This bottle came from Arita, a port town on the south island of Kyushu. (To see a similar bed warmer and get more information on yutampo, see the article "Hot Water Bottles" pp 36, 37, Daruma Magazine, Spring 1994.) The ceramic surface of this yutampo shows the effects of many years of use, with scratches that are apparent on the bottom. Otherwise, it is in fairly good condition, with no chips or damage. Dimensions: height 5 1/2" (14 cm), width 9 1/2" (24 cm), depth 5 3/4" (15 cm). | |||||||
