AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Item Description
This exceptional chawan (matcha tea bowl) is a signed work by a Japanese studio potter, presented in a kiri (paulownia wood) tomobako — the traditional lidded box that accompanies authenticated works of Japanese ceramic art. The glaze is the undisputed star of this piece: a sweeping gradation of copper-green shifts from warm olive-yellow at the lip and upper body through rich forest green to a deep charcoal grey-black at the lower body, creating an atmospheric, landscape-like surface that changes subtly with every shift of light. The interior is equally compelling, with luminous streaks of emerald running over a dark, mirror-like base — reminiscent of rain-soaked foliage reflected in still water. A neat, well-trimmed foot ring anchors the tall, slightly conical form, and a square seal is impressed beneath, confirming the hand of its maker. Whether used in the tea ceremony or displayed as an object of contemplation, this bowl rewards close attention.
