A Japanese matcha tea bowl featuring a rich, glossy brown Ame-glaze (amber/caramel glaze) over a textured clay body. The exterior of the bowl is intricately hand-carved with traditional Japanese Waka poetry written in classic cursive calligraphy (Kana script), creating a poetic and refined visual atmosphere. At the bottom near the unglazed foot ring (Kodai), there is an impressed potter's mark (seal). The bowl comes with an authentic antique wooden box. Please note that the inscription on the top of the box reads "Chabon" (tea tray/plate), indicating that the box is not the original fitted box (Tomobako) for this bowl, but rather an associated vintage storage box (Aibako). The inside of the box lid features hand-written memo and a signature/seal reading "Kankata" (観方).
