A very beautiful Japanese Hagi chawan (teabowl) made by Yamato Yoshitaka (1944-2010). Themilky glaze over the red Hagi clay creates an elegant silky feel with subtle pink gradations. The shape of the bowl and the small embeded stones create crackles and crevasses that look and feel like the original humble Korean gohan (rice) bowls that so influenced Japanese simple style tea bowl and set the style for the tea ceremony in the early 16th century. It has the potters mark on the kodai (foot), comes in a signed tomobako (wooden box) and cloth with potters hanko (stamped seal).

The Yamato family of potters has been associated with Hagi pottery since the end of the 19th century when Yamato Shoroku established the Shoruko kiln in 1895. The chawan is in excellent condition 6 1/3" wide at top and 3 1/2" inches tall.

I purchased this from David Callens from Vessels.jp It is a very simply elegant chawan appropriate for the traditional spirit of tea ceremony.
