Description

Vintage Japanese Chawan Tea Bowl (SKU 25D-234-8)

Heisei-era kuro-yu chawan with original signed tomobako storage box

This elegant vintage chawan is finished in a deep kuro-yu (black glaze) that gradates into midnight blue, creating a subtle, speckled surface reminiscent of a starlit sky. The interior is coated in a lustrous jet-black glaze, while the unglazed foot reveals the warm, iron-rich clay body, giving a pleasing contrast prized in Japanese tea ceramics.

Accompanied by its original tomobako (signed wooden storage box) and artist’s biography sheet, this bowl reflects the refined aesthetics of Heisei studio pottery from Kyoto. Ideal for use in the Japanese tea ceremony or as a display piece, it embodies the quiet wabi-sabi beauty that collectors of Japanese antiques seek.

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.
