Description from the seller

和田妙山 Wada Myozan
A potter based at Myozan Kiln in Kyoto. He specialises in creating tea ceremony utensils, such as matcha bowls. His work is characterised by beautiful bowls that evoke a sense of Japanese aesthetics, featuring motifs such as cherry blossoms, the moon and autumn grasses, and blue maple leaves, all rendered using colour-painting techniques.

和田妙山 Wada Myozan Kyo ware 'Bamboo Grass and Flowing Water Tea Bowl' with Original Box (Tomobako)

The tea bowl by Wada Myozan sets bamboo grass and flowing water across the pale Kyoto‑ware body, the green leaves, brown stems, and light blue currents painted with the calm precision characteristic of his long practice at the Myozan Kiln; the motif wraps the form with an easy, refreshing rhythm, the colours sitting cleanly on the surface in a way that reflects his mastery of overglaze painting, and the seal “Myozan” anchors the piece within his refined approach to seasonal, quietly poetic designs, all kept together with its tomobako.

Box dimensions: 6.4" x 6.4" x 3.7" / 16.5cm x 16.5cm x 9.4cm
Tea Bowl dimensions: 5.5" x 5.5" x 2.2" / 14.2cm x 14.2cm x 5.7cm

**IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR EU BUYERS (Effective from July 2026)**

Please note that the European Union is scheduled to introduce new customs regulations from **July 2026**.

Under these new rules, the customs duty exemption for low-value imports (previously applicable to shipments valued at **€150 or less**) is expected to be abolished. As a result, additional customs duties and customs clearance-related fees may be charged upon import, even for low-value purchases.

**VAT is generally collected at the time of purchase under the IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) system.** However, under the new EU regulations, customs authorities and shipping carriers may still require the payment of additional customs duties and customs clearance or duty advancement fees upon import.

When shipped via **DHL Express**, buyers may be required to pay:

* Customs duty (currently expected to be approximately **€3.00 per applicable HS code**)
* DHL customs advancement or customs clearance fees (typically around **€15.00**, depending on the destination country and carrier)

Our shipments are sent under **DAP (Delivered At Place)** terms. Therefore, any import duties, customs charges, taxes, customs clearance fees, or carrier-related administrative fees that may arise are the sole responsibility of the buyer and must be paid directly to the carrier or the relevant authorities when requested.

As we already provide **free international shipping** to help reduce your overall import costs, we kindly ask buyers to fulfill these import-related payment obligations and promptly complete any required payment to ensure successful delivery and acceptance of the shipment.

**By placing a bid or purchasing this item, you acknowledge and accept responsibility for any import-related charges that may be imposed by customs authorities or the shipping carrier. If you do not agree with these conditions, please refrain from bidding or purchasing.**

These charges are determined by customs authorities and shipping carriers and are beyond the control of both the seller and **Catawiki**. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
