Description from the seller
Japanese Chawan Tea Bowl – Glazed ceramic in brown and green – Spiral decoration – Japan, Shōwa period (estimate)
Very beautiful Japanese tea bowl (Chawan) in ceramic, presenting a rustic and natural aesthetic characteristic of the tradition of Japanese pottery.
The bowl has a slightly flared shape, resting on a circular foot (kōdai).
Its surface is coated with a glaze in warm brown nuances, ochre and beige, enhanced by olive green and dark green runs.
The interior features a remarkable spiral design at the bottom of the bowl, accompanied by green glaze runs with natural and irregular effects.
The exterior also reveals subtle color and texture variations, giving this piece an artisanal character.
The unglazed foot reveals the earthenware and the traces of the wheel.
This bowl evokes the Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic, which values simplicity, natural materials, and the irregularities of ceramics.
It can be used for the Japanese tea ceremony (Chanoyu) or as a decorative and collectible object.
