Kyoto Kiyomizu Ware Matcha Bowl by Eika (英香) – Red & White Plum Blossoms with Gold Stream Motif ( Hakeme Ground )

This is a refined Japanese matcha bowl crafted in the traditional Kyoto Kiyomizu ware style, signed by the artist Eika (英香) near the base.

The bowl features a dynamic background executed in a natural brushstroke-glaze style (hakeme), giving it a rich textural feel. Over this, the artist has exquisitely painted both red (koubai) and white (hakubai) plum blossoms in vibrant enamels, symbolising the arrival of early spring, hope, and renewal in Japanese culture.

Connecting the scenes is a striking stream motif rendered in deep cobalt blue and shimmering gold accents. The contrast between the earth-toned, brushed ground and the luxurious gold and colorful overglaze enamelwork highlights the characteristic elegance of traditional Kyoto ceramics.

With a lightweight feel (247g) and well-proportioned dimensions, it rests comfortably in the hands for Japanese tea ceremony (Chanoyu) or daily matcha appreciation.
