Description from the seller

Japanese Handcrafted 九谷Kutani Ware 抹茶碗Matcha Bowl – 茶碗Chawan-Crane Motif – Mountain Landscape – Vintage Tea Ceremony Art – 九谷Kutani 百華Hyakka


This is a beautifully crafted Kutani ware matcha bowl (茶碗chawan), decorated with elegant cranes in flight against a soft mountainous landscape (連山rensan).
