About the work

This exquisite Hagi Katakuchi Bowl is a stunning example of Miwa Kyuwa X’s renowned craftsmanship. Known for his expertise in Hagi ware, Kyuwa beautifully embodies the traditional aesthetic with a serene palette and a delicate, flowing form. The bowl features the classic straw ash glaze that Kyuwa refined to create a soft, warm white reminiscent of freshly fallen spring snow. The katakuchi design with its distinctive spout adds a sense of versatility, suitable for tea ceremonies, floral arrangements, or as a sake vessel.

 

The bowl comes with a tomobako (signed wooden storage box), adding to its collectible value.
