Vintage Japanese Tea Bowl, Ceramic, Showa Era (SKU 25S-435)

This elegant Hagi ware (萩焼) chawan exemplifies the quiet beauty and subtle warmth for which Hagi ceramics are renowned. Handcrafted with a soft, milky glaze that reveals delicate crackle patterns (kannyu 貫入) over time, this tea bowl reflects the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi—finding beauty in imperfection and natural change.

The pale, creamy surface carries hints of pinkish clay tones near the foot, showcasing the natural interaction between glaze and local Hagi clay during firing. Each chawan is unique, with its own glaze flow and texture, making it a deeply personal vessel for the tea ceremony.

Presented in its original wooden box (kiribako 桐箱) inscribed by the artist, this piece stands as both a functional tea bowl and a collectible work of art—an embodiment of Japan’s enduring tea culture and refined craftsmanship.
