Description from the seller
A hand-held ceramic bowl created by Japanese ceramic artist Kōetsu at the Mizuyō kiln.
The bowl is made of coarse pottery, entirely glazed with a gray glaze that exhibits a natural, flowing effect. The gray, white, and brown hues blend together, creating a rustic and rugged texture with obvious traces of hand-throwing and shaping. The bowl features an integrated, hand-shaped handle, resembling a "hand-held bowl," suitable for use as a water vessel or serving dish in a tea ceremony, or as a container for sweets and fruits. It comes with its original paulownia wood box and packaging, inscribed "Mizuyō Kiln Kōetsu," and is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or significant wear.
The Mizuyō kiln is a renowned Japanese ceramic kiln, famous for its natural glazes and handcrafted tea utensils. Kōetsu's works are often characterized by simple glazes and practical shapes, reflecting the influence of the "wabi-sabi" aesthetic in modern Japanese ceramics.
