Item Description
This is a distinguished Nezumi-Shino (鼠志野) tea bowl for matcha, characterized by its refined monochromatic aesthetic. Nezumi-Shino represents one of the most sophisticated variations of Shino ware, traditionally produced in Mino region (Gifu Prefecture), Japan. The bowl showcases the distinctive contrast between the soft gray feldspar glaze and subtle cream-white accent areas, which is the hallmark of this style. The glaze exhibits the natural, matte finish typical of traditional kiln-fired ceramics, creating a sophisticated surface with excellent tactile qualities. The form is well-proportioned and functional, featuring a gentle curve that provides comfortable hold. The bowl comes in its original wooden box inscribed "Nezumi-Shino Matcha Bowl," which adds to its provenance and authenticity. While the maker remains unidentified, the execution and glazing technique suggest quality craftsmanship characteristic of mid-to-late period Shino production. This piece would serve as both a functional tea ceremony implement and a meaningful addition to any Japanese ceramics collection.
