About the Item

A wonderfully hand crafted and beautifully glazed Hagi Yaki Ware Chawan tea bowl by the 10th Shinbei Sakakura (X). This piece has quite a special feel to it. The Chawan radiates in the light. For generations the Shinbei Sakaura family line have been considered the finest Hagi pottery artists in Japan. Many have been named intangible cultural properties by the Japanese government. The family is currently on the 15th generation of master potters. This piece was created by the 10th Shinbei Sakakura some 180-190 years ago. Hagi ware (萩焼, Hagi-yaki) is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally originated from the town of Hagi, Yamaguchi, in the former Nagato Province and can be traced back to the arrival of Korean potters to Hagi following Japan's military invasion of the Korean peninsula in the late 16th century. The Chawan is high fired stoneware and features an off white flowing translucent crackle glaze with shifting colors and textures. The original Shinbei Sakakura signed tomobako wooden storage box is included. A rare, scarce, special piece. Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian pottery/ceramics collection ot make for an eye catching stand alone accent work in about any setting. Bowl dimensions: 3.1" high, 5.25" wide, 5" deep Box: 4" x 6" x 6"
