Description

This tea bowl was sold under the renowned Tachikichi brand as an Iga Style (Iga-sha) Chawan.

The piece was created in the spirit of traditional Iga ware, capturing its powerful form, rustic clay texture, and expressive natural appearance.

Its greatest appeal lies in the bold, earthy character inspired by Iga ware. The surface features a distinctive granular texture, natural wheel-thrown ridges, and subtle undulations that highlight the warmth of handcrafted pottery. Beneath the soft yellowish-brown glaze, reddish-brown clay emerges in places, while natural kiln effects and variations in the glaze create depth and visual richness.

The rim has a slight handmade irregularity, giving the bowl a gentle, organic character. Suitable for tea ceremony use as well as display, it is a piece with a strong artistic presence.

The original wooden storage box is inscribed “Iga Style Tea Bowl (伊賀写 茶碗)”, and the outer box still retains its original Tachikichi label.

Produced to the high standards associated with the Tachikichi brand, this tea bowl allows you to appreciate the rugged clay texture and natural kiln effects that evoke the beauty of traditional Iga ware.
