The expertly thrown body is covered with the typical, glossy black iron oxide glaze inside and outside, leaving an unglazed 'window' on one side. The 'window' is decorated with chidori (plovers) flying over an irrigation wheelin iron oxide glaze which has then been covered with a clear ash and feldspar glaze...
Kyoto Ceramics and Fine Art
Sold, Thank You! An ancient technique known as “haito” in Japanese was used to give this piece its distinctive look. Thought to have originated in neolithic times and commonly used during the T’ang and Song dynasties in China, an excess of fuel is added at the very end of firing which causes a thick layer of grey ash to adhere to the outside of the vessel...
Momoyama Gallery
Sold SPECIAL OFFER Today we like to present you one of our Shigaraki Chawans, roughly pottered and burned in a true wabi-sabi way around the mid 19th. cent. Highly recommanded for lovers of Japanese aesthetics. There is an old kiln mark and, rarely seen - 3 holes inside the foot. Great display piece.

Kyoto Ceramics and Fine Art
Sold, Thank you! This striking chawan is a fine example of Oni Shino (carbon trap and natural ash glazing) that Tsukigata is so well-known for. Coining the term in the mid-50’s after countless failed experiments—which ultimately culminated in the discovery of this unique style of pottery—“Oni” translates roughly to demon or ogre...

Sold, Thank You! Attractive design, refined form, sensational glazing—this yuteki chawan by Morikazu Kimura would make a fine addition to any collection of Japanese contemporary ceramics.
Born in Kyoto in 1921, Morikazu Kimura took up the family tradition of potting from a very young age and spent much of his time researching and perfecting the Tenmoku style. In 1947 at the age of 26 he set up his own kiln in the exclusive potting district of Gojo-zaka and achieved much success...

Sold, Thank You! A wide hira-jawan decorated with inlaid white slip in the pattern of flowers and rope. The Mishima style of pottery is modeled after much earlier Korean forms—most notably Punch'ŏng. The gold repairs are extensive and skillfully applied, nicely complimenting the pale ash glaze and adding an extra dimension to this lovely work.
This piece is 5.6 inches in diameter (14.3 cm) and stands 2.3 inches tall (5.9 cm)...

Sold, Thank You! Labeled as yu-Shino on the box or “evening†Shino, this recent composition by Ryouji Hayashi III displays wonderful textures and hues resembling the blazing sky at sunset. The front of the bowl is decorated with radiating fissures— boldly contrasting with the background while the kodai or foot of the bowl is unglazed showing the light-colored clay beneath.
Ryouji Hayashi (1940 - ) is the third generation potter of the Shozan kiln in Mino...

Momoyama Gallery
sold Love at first sight! From deep inside the cultural heart of the Japanese Edo Period we are proud to present you another stunning Chawan from our collection. Rounded wan-shaped bowl, the light, aestetic clay with enclosures is expertly thrown and (with the exception of the foot) the bowl is covered with a fantastic mixed feldspar and ash glaze; the light iron oxide in the clay produced a beautiful colour, changing from pink to orange, a loquat-color, well known from the Korean Ido b...

Sold, Thank You! A relatively new term, “Oni Tamba” is used to describe works of Tamba-ware fired using carbon trap and ash glazing techniques modeled after those pioneered by Tsukigata Nahiko in the 1950’s. This piece in particular displays a bold and innovative ceramic landscape that seems quite impressive for such a young artist as Onishi. One side of the bowl resembles charred igneous rock while the front shows a warm soft orangish glow—like an ember in a fireplace. An unglazed patch on the front of ...

Sold, Thank You! This chawan was made by the 8th generation Ohi Chozaemon (1851-1927) based in Kanazawa and is done in a style known as “ameyu” or candy glazing. The glazing is a wonderful example of ameyu and, in fact, approximates the color of a caramel candied-apple. The interesting color scheme and glossy sheen make it an attractive backdrop for a frothy bowl of dark green matcha. While some tea bowls may look best in the confines of a dimly lit tea room, this bowl looks much better in bright light. In a...
