Description

Vintage Japanese Chawan Tea Bowl (SKU 25D-234-13)

Subtle, wheel-thrown chawan with soft matte glaze and original signed tomobako box.

This vintage Japanese tea bowl presents a quiet, earthy presence, its gently flared form finished in a muted, matte glaze that shifts between warm taupe and soft ash tones. The exposed red clay foot and unglazed base reveal the potter’s wheel marks, giving the piece a tactile honesty that suits the wabi-sabi spirit of the Japanese tea ceremony.

Inside, a faint spiral and pale brush-like sweeps of glaze create a sense of movement, inviting contemplation as the bowl is cradled in both hands. Accompanied by its original kiri-wood tomobako, inscribed and stamped in sumi ink, this chawan is ideal for display or for daily use in a relaxed, modern chanoyu-inspired setting.

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.
