Description
An expressive work of Japanese ceramic art – this Chawan Tea Bowl Made of Oribe Ware by Ito Shinzan captivates with its fascinating glaze and dynamic pattern. The deep blue, almost anthracite-colored surface is crossed by fine, relief-like white lines that form an organic, almost calligraphic pattern. The glaze shows fine crackle structures that give the chawan a distinctive texture and depth.
The slightly irregular shape emphasizes the wabi-sabi aesthetic, which celebrates beauty in imperfection. Oribe ware is known for its expressive glazes and innovative designs, and this piece is a perfect example of this long tradition.
Delivered in a signed wooden box that guarantees authenticity and provenance, this chawan is suited both for the traditional tea ceremony and as a unique collector's item. Whether as a gift or for one's own collection – this masterpiece brings the creative power and craftsmanship of Oribe ware directly into your home.
