Item Description: This is an elegant Japanese tea bowl (chawan) featuring a warm beige glaze with distinctive decorative drip patterns. The bowl showcases excellent craftsmanship with its carefully thrown form, displaying subtle horizontal ridges that add texture and visual interest to the piece. The glaze exhibits a beautiful crackle pattern (kannyu) throughout, a highly valued characteristic in Japanese ceramics that develops naturally during firing and aging. The bowl features a charming decorative element: white glaze drips applied around the middle section, creating an organic, flowing pattern against the natural earth-toned base glaze. This artistic technique demonstrates the potter's skillful control of glazing methods, where the white glaze was deliberately allowed to drip and flow during the firing process, creating a unique and unrepeatable pattern. The interior is coated with a smooth, lustrous glaze that transitions beautifully from the rim to the base. The tea bowl has a well-proportioned shape with a stable foot ring and comfortable size, making it suitable for both daily tea enjoyment and formal tea ceremony use. The crackle glaze and the natural color variations reflect the traditional Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, celebrating the beauty of imperfection and spontaneity. The piece bears a maker's mark on the base, indicating its authenticity as a handcrafted work. This tea bowl comes from a collection that included various traditional Japanese tea ceremony wares, suggesting its connection to established ceramic traditions. The combination of functional design and artistic decoration makes this piece an excellent addition to any tea ceremony collection or as a standalone decorative object.
