Item Description A refined Japanese ceramic tea bowl (chawan) adorned with a delicate hand-painted autumn motif. The exterior features two graceful maple leaves (momiji) rendered in soft red and coral tones, set against a pristine white slip ground with subtle horizontal brushwork streaks in pale grey and cream. A small cherry blossom (sakura) medallion in black ink and scattered seed-like accents in dark pigment add rhythmic punctuation to the composition. On the reverse, a single maple leaf is rendered in vivid teal green, offering a surprising and captivating chromatic contrast that transforms the bowl depending on which side faces the viewer — a hallmark of thoughtful, hand-crafted Japanese ceramic design. The interior is coated in a soft, creamy celadon-white glaze with gentle concentric wheel marks at the base, evoking tranquility. The foot (kodai) is unglazed and bears two impressed maker's marks — a radiating sunburst motif and a circular seal with kanji characters — indicating production by an established Japanese kiln. The overall form is a classic chawan shape with a gently flared rim and a well-proportioned, stable foot, suitable for both ceremonial tea preparation and display as a fine decorative object. Material: Ceramic, stoneware with white slip glaze and hand-painted enamel decoration. Size Height: 8 cm Width: 12.5 cm Depth: 12.5 cm Weight 228 g Condition Good condition with no cracks, chips, or repairs; the fine craquelure on the glaze surface and light wear on the foot rim are consistent with natural use and firing characteristics.
