Vintage Japanese Tea Bowl (SKU 25D-234-14)

Subtle white-glazed Chawan with signed tomobako presentation box

This elegant vintage Japanese tea bowl is wheel-thrown in fine stoneware and finished with a soft hakugorai-style white glaze that gently pools toward the foot. The exterior shows faint throwing rings and a delicate crackled surface, celebrating the wabi-sabi aesthetic prized in Japanese tea and sake ware.

The dark, unglazed foot contrasts beautifully with the misty white body and bears the potter’s impressed seal. It comes housed in its original signed wooden tomobako box with calligraphy and red seals, making it ideal for collectors of Heisei-era ceramics or for refined use as a guinomi or small yunomi in daily tea and sake rituals.

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.
