Japanese Shino-yaki Matcha Bowl (Chawan) by Shuichi Sawada (Shusen Toen) - Excellent Condition We are pleased to present a fine example of Japanese ceramic artistry: a hand-crafted Matcha bowl (Chawan) by the esteemed potter Shuichi Sawada of the "Shusen Toen" kiln in Gifu Prefecture. This piece embodies the quintessential beauty of Shino-yaki, a traditional Japanese pottery style originating in the Mino region. This bowl is characterized by its thick, milky-white feldspathic glaze, which is applied with a rich, deliberate texture ("dorori"). The design is accented with delicate iron-oxide brushwork beneath the glaze. Over time, the subtle "kannyu" (fine crackle patterns) will develop a unique patina through use, perfectly embodying the Japanese aesthetic of "wabi-sabi"—finding beauty in imperfection and the passage of time. This item comes complete with its original signed wooden box (Tomobako), the original cloth, and the potter’s authentic paper description. It is an excellent choice for tea ceremony practitioners or collectors of fine Japanese crafts seeking a piece that bridges traditional artistry with modern life.
