This image showcases a Water Dropper (suiteki) in the intriguing form of two chestnuts and a wasp, hailing from the late 19th century. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but it is believed to originate from Hirado Mikawachi Ware, a renowned Japanese ceramics tradition from the Hirado region. The Water Dropper is a functional object used in the Japanese tea ceremony, designed to control the flow of water into the tea bowl. In this unique rendition, the water dropper is artfully crafted as two chestnuts and a wasp, adding an element of surprise and whimsy to the utilitarian piece. The ceramic piece boasts a beautiful brown glaze with intricate blue underglaze details, enhancing the naturalistic appearance of the chestnuts and the wasp. The close-up perspective invites the viewer to appreciate the delicate details and the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating this exquisite work of art. The Water Dropper in the Form of Two Chestnuts and a Wasp is a testament to the rich heritage and cultural significance of Asian art, specifically from Japan, during the 19th century. Today, it is a cherished addition to the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
