A finely crafted Japanese tea bowl (chawan), accompanied by its original signed tomobako (wooden storage box), reflecting both authenticity and traditional craftsmanship. This piece features a distinctive Mishima decoration, characterized by intricate stamped and incised geometric patterns (including cross-hatching and basket-weave textures) carved into the body and filled with light-colored slip. This technique creates a striking visual contrast against the muted blue-grey glaze, evoking a sense of rhythmic beauty. The well-balanced, slightly flared shape (Hira-jawan) sits comfortably in the hand. The interior presents a soft, luminous depth with a golden-brown hue, while the sturdy, unglazed foot (Kōdai) reveals the natural character of the iron-rich clay, perfectly aligning with the wabi-sabi aesthetic. Each detail reflects careful craftsmanship, from the precise carving to the controlled firing that produced this unique, earthy surface. The presence of the signed tomobako (stamped "Hoshijime Kiln") further supports its origin as a treasured studio work. Condition: Very good condition, with no cracks, chips, or restorations. The intentional stamped textures and slight glaze irregularities are part of the artistic process and not defects. Dimensions: Diameter: approx. 16 cm Height: approx. 5.5 cm Measurements are approximate and provided for reference. Please refer to the photos for further details.
