About the Item

This is a Seto ware tea bowl made in Japan from the late Edo period to the Meiji period (late 19th to early 20th century). Seto is a kiln with a long history in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. (Seto kilns are marked with red circles on the map.) It is said to have originated around the 13th century. In the latter half of the Edo period, painted tableware with this modern design was produced and loved by many common people. The name of this design is called “Mugiwarate. Mugiwara” = barley straw Te” = like The unique striped pattern reminds one of ears of barley, hence the name. Originally, this bowl had a lid, but many of the surviving “Mugiwarate” bowls have lost their lids. The Japan Folk Crafts Museum also has a similar object in its collection. Please see the reference photo. This rustic design is still loved by many Japanese and is still popular today. The surface of this bowl has a slightly cloudy atmosphere, while the inside has a transparent atmosphere. It is an interesting vessel that allows you to enjoy different atmospheres. There is a small scratch on the bottom, but it does not leak water. You can enjoy matcha, café latte, coffee, etc. There are no major scratches and it is in relatively good condition. A special storage wooden box is also included. Recommended item. Weight: 194g [We mainly sell old Japanese items. We've seen tens of thousands of items so far.

Antique pottery bowl from Kumamoto, Japan / Shodai ware / Edo / 18-19 thcentury
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
We have a unique Japanese aesthetic sense. And only we can introduce unique items through our purchasing channels in Japan and the experience we have gained so far, in such a way that no one else can imitate. It is speculated that this pottery was fired in the Shodai kiln in Kumamoto Prefecture during the Edo period, around the 18th century to the first half of the 19th century. It is characterized by the use of iron-rich clay and the appearance of a white glaze that looks like falling snow. As a feature, using clay with a lot of iron, It is characterized by a white glaze that looks like snow. This vessel is made with two types of glaze. One is straw ash glaze and the other is rice husk ash glaze. This rice husk ash glaze changes to a white glaze. This pot is very beautiful with a petal-like rim. However, there is one spot where the crack has been repaired. The part marked with a red arrow has been broken once, but it seems to have been glued later. Therefore, it will not leak even if you put water in it. It's not very noticeable so I wouldn't worry about it. This Shodai ware was made in Kumamoto Prefecture and was used there, so there are not many items in Japan. It is a rare item. Also, a wooden box is included, but it says "Karatsu ware...

Kaneshige Toyo National Treasure Signed Japanese Bizen Pottery Chawan Tea Bowl
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. Bizen Ware is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally from the Bizen province, presently a part of the Okayama prefecture. It is considered one of the Six Ancient Japanese Kilns (along with Echizen ware, Seto ware, Shigaraki ware, Tamba ware, and Tokoname ware). 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 Brooklyn Museum, NY Hagi Uragami Museum, Yamaguchi, Japan Honolulu Art Museum, HI Ibaraki Ceramic Art Museum, Kasama, Japan Indiana Art...
