Description from the seller

refined Japanese Tea Bowl – White Crackle Glaze and Expressive Iron Decoration from Keizan Kiln

This attractive Japanese matcha tea bowl (chawan) is attributed to Keizan Kiln (桂山窯), a traditional pottery workshop associated with the historic Mino ceramic region of Japan.

The bowl features a beautiful milky-white glaze with warm ivory and pale grey variations. Fine crackle patterns spread across the surface, creating a delicate network of lines that adds depth and character.

The exterior is decorated with expressive iron-brown brushwork, including a circular motif and delicate designs resembling grasses or plants. These understated decorations contrast elegantly with the pale glaze.

Its slightly irregular rim and gently cylindrical body emphasize the handmade character of the piece. The exposed ceramic foot reveals the natural clay body and concentric trimming marks.

The interior is finished in a soft cream-white glaze with subtle variations in tone, creating a calm and harmonious appearance.

About Keizan Kiln

Keizan Kiln is a traditional pottery workshop located in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture, within Japan's celebrated Mino ceramic region.

Founded by Wada Keijirō more than a century ago, the workshop has continued through four generations, preserving traditional ceramic techniques while developing contemporary artistic expressions.

The fourth-generation master, Kazufumi Wada (和田和文), born in 1949, is a recognized Japanese ceramic artist and a director of the Mino Ceramic Art Association.

His achievements include the Takujō Award in 2017, recognition for preserving traditional culture in 2018, and an Encouragement Award at the Mino Tea Bowl Exhibition in 2020.

The kiln is known for producing handcrafted ceramics, including traditional tea utensils and works featuring a wide variety of glazes and decorative techniques.

The precise individual maker and production date of this particular bowl have not been independently confirmed.

Wooden Box and Signature

The bowl is accompanied by an inscribed wooden storage box bearing the designation Chawan (茶盌) and the signature Keizan (桂山), together with a red seal.

The ceramic mark has been compared with another example identified as Keizan Kiln, supporting the proposed workshop attribution.

Diameter: approximately 11–12 cm

Height: approximately 8 cm

Condition

Please examine all photographs carefully for details of the glaze, painted decoration, rim, foot and wooden box.
