Korean Ceramic Chawan Ido Tea Bowl with Soba Glaze Kuroda Touen
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 in places. 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 19377 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.

- Antique Korean Ceramic Komogai Chawan with Tamagode GlazeLocated in Atlanta, GAA ceramic tea bowl with milky white glaze made in Korea for Japanese market circa 16-17th century. The thinly potted bowl is in the shape called Hatazori-gata (curving-lip type) that is known as Komogai (or Kumagawa) type. It was named after the historical port of Komogai, close to Bushan in Gyongsangnam-do, southern coast of Korea, where these bowls were traded and exported to Japan in the 16-17th century. The white glaze that covers nearly the entire surface resembles the color and texture of eggshell, therefore is known as Tamago-de. This type of glaze is rather rare, and few examples exist. It was believed that the Tamago-de glaze was only made in Korea from late 16th to mid-17th century during Japan's Edo period. The tea bowl on offer bears typical characteristic of Tamago-de glaze. The smooth milky color glaze shows a fine crackle with scattered spots of flakes exposing the dark clay underneath. The glaze on the rim was largely worn off, so was on the base. There is a subtle indentation on the bottom of the interior known as kagami (tea pool). The ring base is relatively thick compared to the base and trimmed by the potter's knife. It appears delicate to the eyes, but it feels strong in the hands. The bowl comes with a fabric pouch...Category
