About the Item

A bespoken Japanese ceramic glazed tea bowl with fabric insert, pouch and original padded wood tomobako box. The chawan has a slightly irregular wall supported by a high notched foot ring. The glaze features a distinct pinkish spotty pattern on a beige background. This particular glaze style is called Deer's Back (Kase in Japanese) for the resemblance of the dotted deer skin.
