Description

Vintage Japanese Chawan Tea Bowl, Heisei Era (SKU 25D-234-16)

Hand-painted plum blossom yunomi with gold accents and signed tomobako

This charming vintage Japanese tea cup is decorated in the iro-e overglaze enamel style, with sprays of red plum blossoms and buds rising around the exterior. Soft grey-green glaze with a fine all-over crackle forms a calm backdrop for clouds of textured gold, evoking early spring mist in a traditional Japanese garden.

The cup is lightly thrown with a comfortable foot and a smooth, pale interior ideal for appreciating the colour of sencha or houjicha. It comes housed in its original signed wooden tomobako, inscribed with the motif and form and bearing the artist’s seal, making it a refined piece for daily tea or display in a Japanese ceramics collection.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
