This Japanese Kishu ware handmade ox-patterned tea bowl features a naturally warm glaze with crackled patterns. The exterior of the bowl is decorated with lifelike ox motifs, and the base is hand-polished and bears a mark. The tea bowl comes with its original paulownia wood box, engraved with the kiln's name and seal. A complete kiln calendar is also included. The tea bowl is in excellent overall condition, retaining the natural crackled texture of handmade ceramics and showing slight signs of age.
