An antique Korean Ido chawan (tea bowl), circa early 20th century, crafted in rustic terracotta clay with a softly ribbed exterior and natural speckled surface. Deeply rooted in traditional tea culture, Ido bowls are prized for their honest, unrefined beauty and tactile presence.
The form is balanced yet organic, with subtle irregularities that speak to its age and handmade origin. The earthy tones and textured surface give the piece a quiet depth, embodying the principles of simplicity and natural imperfection.
A characterful and contemplative object, ideal for tea use or as part of a curated ceramic collection.

Antique Korean Ido Chawan (Tea Bowl), Rustic Speckled Terracotta, Ribbed Outer
Very Good. As with all vintage, handmade, or antique pieces, you would expect general age-related wear and discrepancies.
