A traditional Japanese Bizen ware tea bowl (chawan) with a rustic and powerful presence, fired using natural wood ash techniques typical of Bizen pottery. The surface shows rich earthy brown tones, natural ash effects, and subtle kiln marks, reflecting the aesthetics of wabi-sabi and the long tradition of unglazed Japanese ceramics. The form is well-balanced, with a carefully shaped foot, suggesting hand-crafted work rather than mass production. The bowl comes with its original wooden storage box (tomobako), inscribed with “Tea Bowl” and bearing an artist’s seal, indicating it was made for formal appreciation. A fine piece suitable for tea ceremony use or as a collectible example of Japanese ceramic art. Dimensions: Height 10 cm, Diameter approx. 13 cm. Condition: Good condition. There are no cracks or repairs. Minor surface variations and kiln textures are consistent with age and the nature of Bizen ware.
