A beautifully handcrafted Japanese kurinuki chawan, expertly carved from a solid block of clay using the traditional kurinuki technique. Finished with a rich rustic glaze and raised on a well-defined kodai (foot ring), this expressive tea bowl celebrates the organic beauty, texture, and individuality of handmade ceramics.
The irregular form, tactile surface, and natural variations in the glaze reflect the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, embracing simplicity, imperfection, and the quiet beauty of natural materials. Both functional and sculptural, it is equally suited for the Japanese tea ceremony or as a decorative piece within a curated collection of studio pottery.
A characterful example of contemporary Japanese ceramic craftsmanship, this studio-made chawan combines traditional techniques with timeless design, making it a wonderful addition for collectors and admirers of Japanese pottery.
Inspired by the celebrated enamel work of Studio Laurana, this is a wonderfully decorative example of mid-century Italian design, perfect for collectors of modernist objects and lovers of colourful vintage interiors.
Sourced in Japan.
Studio Made Japanese Kurinuki Clay Chawan With Kodai Base - Rustic Glaze
Very good. As with all vintage, handmade, or antique pieces, you would expect general age-related wear and discrepancies. No chips or cracks.
