Ohi ware（大樋焼） - Choraku（長楽） - Chawan - Stoneware, Tea Ceremony - Signed

This hand-formed tea bowl is a work of Ohi ware, attributed to Choraku, a lineage closely associated with the Japanese tea ceremony tradition.

The bowl is signed on the base, with a matching signature on the original wooden tomobako, providing a strong and consistent attribution.

Its surface reveals a rich kiln-fired glaze, transitioning naturally from soft milky white to warm amber and deep earthy tones. These variations are not applied decoration, but the result of the firing process itself — where clay, glaze, and flame interact to create an unrepeatable expression.

The thick glaze and subtle irregularities in form embody the spirit of wabi-sabi, where beauty emerges through imperfection and natural variation. Each angle offers a slightly different impression, making this a deeply tactile and visually engaging piece.

A tea bowl shaped by fire and chance — no two surfaces will ever be the same.

Suitable both for tea ceremony use and as a contemplative display object.
