This is an antique Ido chawan (tea bowl) from the Joseon dynasty in Korea, admired for its warm, rustic charm and earthy character. The entire piece is coated in ash glaze, which has developed natural variations during firing, creating a beautiful and organic surface pattern. The interior shows signs of long use, giving it a rich, seasoned appearance. The slightly flared rim is a hallmark of classic Ido tea bowls, and the foot features the distinctive “snake-eye” (janome) foot typical of Joseon ceramics. Around the base, the contrast between the white slip and the dark iron glaze forms a striking texture reminiscent of “ume-hada” (plum blossom skin). Natural glaze drips and kiln changes enhance its appeal, while the fine crackle glaze throughout adds further depth and antique charm. Despite visible signs of age and use, the bowl remains in good condition with no major chips or cracks. Ido chawan are highly valued in the world of tea ceremony, and this piece embodies the quiet beauty and practicality sought after by tea practitioners. Whether used in a tea gathering or displayed as an art object, this bowl offers a tangible connection to the aesthetic and spirit of the Joseon era, making it a valuable item for collectors and tea enthusiasts alike.
