This Mino Ware "Kōhō" confection bowl features a Tenmoku glaze and a chrysanthemum motif; it is a vessel specifically designed for serving Japanese sweets within the context of the tea ceremony. The bowl is crafted using the Tenmoku kiln-variation glazing technique, resulting in a glaze surface that displays a natural, shifting interplay of gray, brown, and yellow tones. The interior of the bowl features a carved-relief chrysanthemum pattern, with radial lines incised within each petal. The rim is accented with gold gilding and shaped in a scalloped, floral design incorporating openwork elements—a testament to exquisite craftsmanship. An original wooden presentation box is included. The piece is preserved in excellent overall condition, free from any significant damage, making it an unparalleled choice for enthusiasts of Japanese aesthetics.
