Japanese Chawan Matcha Tea Bowl - Onta Ware (Onta-yaki) Signed Rohō (鹿峰) - Glazed Stoneware

This is a finely crafted Japanese matcha tea bowl produced in the Onta ware (Onta-yaki / 小鹿田焼).

Design & Craftsmanship:
The bowl features a sturdy, rustic form characteristic of traditional Japanese folk art (Mingei) pottery. It is finished with a rich, natural amber-brown glaze layered with subtle white feldspar/ash glaze speckles and accents that create a dynamic, tactile surface. The exterior shows gentle horizontal wheel marks (rokuro-me), giving it an organic and grounded presence in the hands.

On the unglazed bottom near the foot, the artist/studio mark "鹿峰" (Rohō) is clearly incised into the clay.

About the Mark "Rohō" (鹿峰):
While traditional Onta ware is historically un-signed to uphold the anonymous folk-art tradition (Mingei), select specialized art pieces and tea utensils produced by master potters within Onta kilns (such as the Kobukuro kiln) bear the incised mark Rohō (鹿峰).
