Description from the seller
Item Description
This lot is a set of 5 Japanese tea ceremony utensils, comprising a hand-built tea bowl, two ceramic jars with drip glazes, a lidded ceramic vessel accompanied by a bamboo tea scoop, and a traditional bamboo chasen (tea whisk).
The largest piece in the set is the tea bowl, which features a warm orange body thrown on the wheel and a glaze that transitions to a soft, misty grey towards the rim — a scenic effect born from variations in firing and glazing. The interior and exterior display fine crazing (kan'nyū) and natural firing spots characteristic of handmade ceramics, while the foot ring bears swirling trimming marks.
The two jars are finished with a blue-black streaked glaze that flows down from the shoulders over a blue-green base glaze, with reddish-brown clay body visible near the foot ring. One jar comes with a wooden stopper, making it suitable as a container for tea leaves or similar contents, while the other is an open jar with a small ring-shaped handle. A lidded jar in the same blue-black drip glaze style features a knob-shaped finial, with a slender bamboo tea scoop resting across the lid.
Completing the set is the chasen, a traditional tool for whisking matcha, with finely and evenly split tines bound at the base with black thread, and a handle also crafted from bamboo.
Together, these utensils form a cohesive and decorative set well suited for the practice or display of Japanese tea ceremony.

Seller's Story
We have been experienced as an antique dealer for more than a decade, we select and purchase high-quality products from all over Japan. I carefully select items with good taste, whether famous or not. I offer you an encounter with unknown Japanese goods.
Owner Profile
Name: Michito Nagahiro
Born in 1986 in Sapporo, Hokkaido. From an early age, I have been fascinated by the beautiful and practical designs of Japanese art, antiques, and consumer products, as well as the mindset and dedication of craftsmen and artists. I frequently visited museums and solo exhibitions as part of my daily life.
In 2012, under the guidance of a top mentor in the industry, I established myself as an antique dealer, handling a wide range of items, including Japanese antiques and artworks. Since 2017, I have specialized in selling Japanese antiques and fine art, primarily in Europe, achieving over 20,000 successful sales to date.
In 2019, I launched a completely free service to support individuals in Japan who experience loneliness. This initiative involves personally visiting people, engaging in conversations, sharing meals, and, if necessary, providing career advice. More than 1,000 people reach out to me annually for support.
Additionally, I am committed to promoting and supporting the sales of emerging artists whose work has not yet received public recognition. My philosophy goes beyond merely selling objects—I strive to convey the stories, history, and emotions embedded in each piece. By doing so, I aim to connect people with the lives of the artists and bring inspiration to those who encounter their work.
