About the Item

A gorgeous tenmoku drip glazed Japanese Chawan tea bowl that features a mix of shifting colors, glazes and textures. The piece radiates in the light and is very reminiscent of work that famed British potter Bernard Leach did with Shoji Hamada during their time together in Mashiko, Japan. This particular piece also encompasses the Japanese Wabi-Sabi aesthetic (which is so revered and coveted in Japan) - the appreciation of beauty that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete in nature and embraces the principles of asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and the appreciation of both natural objects and the forces of nature upon them. Signed by an impressed maker/artist's mark on side of the base Likely from the mid to later Showa Period (1926-1989) This work is from a fine Southern California/Los Angeles Japanese/Asian ceramics collections. A wonderful and engaging work. Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian pottery/ ceramics collection or make for an eye-catching stand-alone accent work in about any setting.
