Kyoto Shoraku Kiln – Black Raku Tea Bowl with White Crane Motif

Shoraku Kiln, Kyoto, Japan | Kuro-raku Matcha Tea Bowl with Crane Motif, Black-Glazed Tea Utensil

Raku ware is one of the most representative forms of pottery in Japanese tea culture, with deep ties to the wabi-cha spirit championed by Sen no Rikyu. Compared with ceramics that pursue regularity, symmetry and lavish decoration, Raku ware places greater emphasis on the feel of the object in the hand, its natural form, and the intimate relationship between the tea bowl and its user. This bowl in the kuro-raku style is covered with a thick black glaze; the color is not a perfectly even pure black, but shifts between deep black, ink-brown and subtle luster according to the angle of the light. The rim has a natural undulation rather than a strictly perfect circle, expressing the irregular beauty prized in traditional hand-formed tea bowls.

Japanese Kutani Ware Tea Bowl – Gilded Floral & Peacock Motif with Wooden Box

Kutani Gold-Decorated Bird-and-Flower Tea Bowl・Aka-e Peony and Peacock Design・With Original Wooden Tomobako

Kutani ware is one of Japan's most representative traditional ceramic crafts, known for its vivid colors, rich pictorial subjects and decorative quality. This tea bowl takes a rounded, full form, with a smoothly flaring rim and a belly that draws naturally inward, set on a small foot ring, giving the whole a steady yet gentle proportion. Most striking is the finely painted bird-and-flower decoration on the body, dominated by russet brown and vermilion tones, depicting blossoming flowers, layered overlapping leaves, and birds with delicately rendered feather texture. Touches of gold appear in places, making the bird-and-flower motifs all the more sumptuous against the soft glaze.

Japanese Chōjū-giga Inspired Tea Bowl

Kozan-ji Choju Giga Aka-e Rabbit and Frog Matcha Bowl

A vintage Japanese matcha bowl, decorated with inspiration from the Choju Giga (Frolicking Animals scrolls), one of the most representative works of traditional Japanese art, bringing the lively anthropomorphized poses of rabbits, frogs and other animals onto a warm, understated ceramic vessel. The Choju Giga is a celebrated classical Japanese picture scroll, and the surviving work has deep ties to Kozan-ji temple in Toganoo, Kyoto. In the painting, rabbits, frogs, monkeys and other animals imitate human activities, and the spirited brushwork presents scenes full of humor and vitality. Particularly worth noting is the side of the bowl, which bears the characters "Kozan-ji" within a rectangular frame, echoing the Choju Giga theme and giving the whole piece a distinctly classical Japanese artistic character.

apanese Kyo-yaki Style Tea Bowl with Heian Court Figures & Wooden Box

Kyo-yaki Signed Tea Bowl, Heian Court Figures, Gold-Decorated Cherry Blossom Motif, with Original Wooden Storage Box

Kyoto has a long history of ceramic culture, and Kyo-yaki (Kyoto ware) is renowned for its rich decorative expression, diverse painted subjects and refined tea ceremony wares. Unlike pottery that emphasizes clay texture and natural kiln effects, many Kyo-yaki pieces place particular importance on the painting art of the vessel's surface, frequently incorporating figures, landscapes, birds and flowers, seasonal scenery and classical literary themes into ceramic work. This tea bowl conveys a strong sense of Kyoto's decorative ceramic art. The bowl has an overall form that flares slightly outward, with a wide mouth rim, a rounded body, and a base drawn in to a footring. The proportions are natural, combining the practical structure of a tea bowl with visual appeal.

This Japanese Kyō ware chawan represents the essence of Kyōto's traditional ceramic craft.

The bowl is hand-painted with flowers, with gold patterning set against vivid blue, red and green, expressing an elegant, noble Japanese aesthetic. The interior glaze is warm and soft, the mouth moderate in size and the bowl steady in the hand, making it both highly practical and fine to look at. It comes with its original tomobako (wooden box) bearing the craftsman's signature and red seal, attesting to its craftsmanship and origin; suitable for collecting or as a gift.

Old Kutani Iron-Glazed Chawan (Tea Bowl), Japan

A handmade iron-glazed chawan in the 'Ko-Kutani' (Old Kutani) style, with the form and motifs characteristic of early Kutani ware; its firing retains a traditional texture and a sense of history. The coarse stoneware body is covered with a pale off-white ground glaze, and the bowl is painted in vivid vermilion iron pigment with figures, accented with dots of yellow, blue and green enamels, giving a lively, unrestrained composition with strong visual impact. The base shows clear marks of hand throwing and kiln transformation; the body is slightly sandy, and the surface displays natural glaze crackle, typical of an old hand-fired piece. At the centre of the base is an appraisal label of the kind commonly seen in the Japanese resale market; the unglazed foot ring reveals the clay body. The piece is accompanied by a certificate of identification written in ink and its original wooden box, the lid inscribed with the title and signature. With clear documentation, it is a collection-grade work of credible provenance. (Shows marks from the making process)

Oribe Ware Irregular Chawan (Tea Bowl), Japan (Without Tomobako)

An irregularly shaped matcha bowl in the style of Oribe ware (Oribe-yaki), Japan. The form leans toward free-form modelling, with a gently undulating rim, and carries a strong folk-craft, handmade character. The exterior is glazed over a light-coloured clay body, mainly in clear and green glazes, and the surface shows natural crackle (craquelure), a texture that forms naturally during high-temperature reduction firing. The bowl is decorated with a vine-and-flower motif painted in reddish brown, with fluid brushwork and a lively composition, expressing the 'beauty of asymmetry' and freely sketched naturalness characteristic of Oribe. The green glaze has a strong sheen that contrasts sharply with the texture of the unglazed body, giving the piece visual tension while keeping its rustic simplicity.

It has a small, wide mouth and a shallow body with a thick, stable foot ring, and sits comfortably in the hand; suitable for daily tea drinking, it can also serve as a dessert bowl or a small vessel at a tea gathering.
