Vintage Japanese Shared Tea Bowl (Chawan) — 2000, Heisei Era
A Rustic Centerpiece for Communal Tea Moments and Wabi-Sabi Aesthetics

This vintage Japanese large chawan (tea bowl), crafted in the early 2000s during the Heisei Era, is a remarkable example of traditional pottery designed for shared tea gatherings. Generously sized with organic, hand-formed contours, it reflects the spirit of wabi-sabi—beauty in imperfection and simplicity.

Finished with a textured ash glaze and earthy reddish-brown accents, this tea bowl’s rugged surface and expressive firing marks make each angle visually unique. Traditionally used in group tea ceremonies, its wide form invites hospitality, warmth, and shared experience.

Whether used for tea, displayed as an art piece, or gifted to a lover of Japanese ceramics, this bowl brings authenticity and quiet presence to any space.
