About the Item
This ceramic chawan (tea bowl) was made in Korea during Joseon dynasty circa 18th to early 19th century. The bowl was of a "Small Ido" form with half-height of the typical "Big Ido" chawan therefore appears low and flat. Supported by a foot ring with the pointy Tokin in the center, the bowl has a relatively thick wall with the full mid-section tucked in around the foot ring. The surface is covered in a brown-beige glaze known as "soba" for its resemblance with the color of the buckwheat noodle. The glaze, however, changes colors, showing a gray-white tint in places accompanied by crawling and pooling effects. There are five spur-marks on the bottom of the interior left from the stacking in the kiln.
The bowl comes with a fabric pouch and its original tomobako with inscription by the collector. It reads "Soba Chawan" on the lid and under the lid, it was inscribed "Identified by Kuroda Touen" Year of 1937 with the collector's seal. Kuroda Touen was founded in 1935 as a ceramic art gallery, and later an art salon by Ryoji Kuroda in Tokyo in association with Rosanjin Kitaoji.
Soba bowls are not mentioned in the earliest tea records. The first reference is in Matsudaira Fumai's accounts complied toward the end of Edo period. The existing number of these soba bowls appears less than other types.

Located in Studio City, CA
A beautiful, perfectly shaped antique Bizen ware Chawan tea bowl by renowned Japanese master potter/artist Kaneshige Toyo (1896-1967) featuring a unique natural, organic forming ash glaze. Kaneshige is universally considered to be the founder of modern Bizen pottery.
In 1956, Kaneshige was certified as a Living National Treasure (Important Intangible Cultural Heritage) for his work in Bizen Ware pottery/ceramics.

The piece is signed/ sealed on the base with one of Kaneshige's traditional incised marks.
A rather engaging and scarce work. Would be a fantastic addition to any Japanese/Asian pottery or Bizen Ware collection or eye-catching stand-alone work in about any setting.
Kaneshige's work can be found in numerous prominent collections and museums including:
Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum, Seto, Japan
