Description

This impressive bowl made of Tada ware, masterfully crafted and stamped by Tamura Unkei, captivates with its artful dragonfly motif, carefully worked into the fine glaze. The symbol of the dragonfly stands in Japan for change and self-realization, lending the bowl a deep cultural significance that goes beyond its aesthetic beauty.

The surface of the bowl displays a delicate crackle glaze that emphasizes the natural and rustic feel of the ceramics. The warm green tone of the bowl harmonizes wonderfully with the delicate dragonfly motif, giving this work of art a particular elegance. Every detail of the bowl reflects the fine craftsmanship and careful execution for which Tada ware and the artist Tamura Unkei are known.

Delivered in a signed wooden box that underscores the authenticity and value of the bowl, this piece is a true collector's item for connoisseurs of Japanese pottery. Perfect for the tea ceremony or as a decorative highlight, this bowl brings a special atmosphere and deep symbolism into your home.
