This is a black Oribe tea bowl from the Edo period (18th century), distinguished by its kutsu-gata (clog-shaped) form and bold design. The asymmetrical shape reflects the era's appreciation for individuality and shifting perspectives in the tea ceremony. A stylized leaf motif is impressively carved into the surface, offering a striking contrast against the dark glaze and creating visual interest with variations in tone and texture. Natural glaze drips and firing effects enhance the bowl’s character, adding layers of depth and warmth. Well-balanced in hand and aesthetically dynamic from multiple angles, it embodies the playful yet refined spirit of Edo-period Oribe ware. Accompanied by its original wooden box, this piece serves as both a functional tea vessel and a collectible example of historic Japanese ceramic artistry.
