Description from the seller
Item Description:
This is an elegant Japanese tea bowl (chawan) featuring a warm beige glaze with distinctive decorative drip patterns.
The bowl showcases excellent craftsmanship with its carefully thrown form, displaying subtle horizontal ridges that add texture and visual interest to the piece.
The glaze exhibits a beautiful crackle pattern (kannyu) throughout, a highly valued characteristic in Japanese ceramics that develops naturally during firing and aging.
The bowl features a charming decorative element: white glaze drips applied around the middle section, creating an organic, flowing pattern against the natural earth-toned base glaze.
This artistic technique demonstrates the potter's skillful control of glazing methods, where the white glaze was deliberately allowed to drip and flow during the firing process, creating a unique and unrepeatable pattern.
The interior is coated with a smooth, lustrous glaze that transitions beautifully from the rim to the base.
The tea bowl has a well-proportioned shape with a stable foot ring and comfortable size, making it suitable for both daily tea enjoyment and formal tea ceremony use.
The crackle glaze and the natural color variations reflect the traditional Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, celebrating the beauty of imperfection and spontaneity.
The piece bears a maker's mark on the base, indicating its authenticity as a handcrafted work.
This tea bowl comes from a collection that included various traditional Japanese tea ceremony wares, suggesting its connection to established ceramic traditions.
The combination of functional design and artistic decoration makes this piece an excellent addition to any tea ceremony collection or as a standalone decorative object.

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.
