This tea bowl is attributed to Raku Tannyū, the 10th generation head of the Raku family, and is believed to have been created during Japan’s Edo period in the 18th century. The bowl is fully coated in a rich black glaze, characteristic of Raku ware, with naturally formed iron spots and kiln effects that give the surface a unique texture and depth. The interior features warm amber discoloration, creating an evocative “landscape” that embodies the wabi-sabi aesthetic central to the Japanese tea ceremony. The foot is robustly formed with a distinctive spiral trimming mark, a hallmark of traditional Raku techniques. Adjacent to the foot, a seal mark can be observed, resembling those found on known works by Tannyū. The exterior, though austere in black, reveals subtle variations under different lighting, offering a dynamic visual experience. Despite minor signs of age, the bowl remains in excellent condition and possesses both functional value and historical significance. This is a fine example of Edo-period Raku ware and an important piece for collectors and practitioners of tea culture alike.
