AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Item Description
This is an authentic Japanese Shino tea bowl (chawan) featuring the characteristic white milky glaze with natural iron spots creating a distinctive landscape across its surface. The bowl exemplifies the rustic aesthetic of Shino ware, one of Japan's most celebrated ceramic traditions that originated in Mino province during the Momoyama period.
The exterior displays a beautiful natural pattern where iron-rich areas have created brown speckled formations against the soft white glaze, giving each side of the bowl its own unique character. The surface texture shows the organic quality typical of traditional Shino firing techniques, with subtle variations in glaze thickness that reveal the clay body beneath.
The bowl features three horizontal ridges (chatsubo) around the body, a classic detail in traditional tea bowl construction. The interior presents a clean, smooth surface with minimal iron spotting, making it ideal for tea ceremony use. The foot ring (koudai) is well-formed with natural glaze accumulation showing authentic kiln characteristics.
This piece demonstrates the wabi-sabi aesthetic central to Japanese tea ceremony, where imperfection and naturalness are celebrated. The spontaneous iron spots and glaze variations are not flaws but rather the essence of Shino ware's appeal, making each bowl a unique work of ceramic art.
Suitable for both tea ceremony practice and as a collector's piece showcasing traditional Japanese pottery techniques.
