A Hagi Ware Midium Bowl
Showa Era (1926-1989)
About the work
A beautifully crafted Hagi ware tea bowl (chawan), characterized by a soft, milky glaze and an understated, natural aesthetic. The bowl’s unglazed foot reveals the artisanal touch, featuring the potter’s seal near the base to attest to its authenticity. Its shape is classic for chawan, providing both form and function for the tea ceremony. The piece is complemented by a tomobako (wooden storage box), signed by the artist.
