Water feature Tsuba ( I think)

[Moley]

Hi everybody,

Just got this Tsuba on a sword I hope to use for Iai.

Hoping anyone can help me with any information about it?

It's kinda hard to make out, but I'm seeing some sort of container and one of those long handled bamboo cups?

Any help or information about it would be very greatly appreciated.

Regards

It looks like a mizusashi and hishaku with a daikon. John

Gwyn,

 

the big jar could be a CHA TSUBO, a ceramic tea container.

Maybe a jar of vinegar, a dipper and daikon? Pickles anyone?

Thanks Henry,(and John) That makes a lot of sense.

I googled Daikon and the vegetable is very similar to the object on the bottom right.

So it probably is a "jar of pickles"

Very worn tsuba.Hard to make out shapes.

Any idea of age or style?
