AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Short description of the item and its origin
An elegant Japanese Kyo ware / Kiyomizu ware Katakuchi (spouted bowl) originating from Kyoto, Japan. Crafted in the traditional modern era, it features a warm, cream-glazed body covered in fine, natural crackle glaze (kannyu). The exterior is hand-painted in dynamic iron-black ink painting style (Sumi-e / Tetsusai), depicting an ancient, gnarled pine tree with fine, radiating needles. The underside of the foot ring bears a handwritten calligraphic mark reading "Shoto" (松涛 - meaning "whispering pines").
Collector’s Value & Benefits
Combining traditional Kyoto pottery artistry with literati aesthetic refinement, this Katakuchi bowl represents both functional design and artistic elegance. The crackle glaze develops a richer patina with age and tea/sake use, making it a cherished piece for collectors of Japanese tea utensils and sake ware. It serves as an exquisite fair cup (Gongdao Bei) for tea ceremonies, a server for Japanese sake, or a refined decorative accent.
