This Shino tea bowl, crafted during the Edo period (1603-1868), beautifully showcases the timeless appeal of traditional Shino ware. The warm white glaze with naturally occurring crackles (crazing) exudes an aged elegance. The uneven shape of the bowl, a hallmark of handmade craftsmanship, offers a tactile experience that feels harmonious in the hand.
While the base bears a stamp, the maker remains unidentified. Nevertheless, the unique character and presence of this piece speak volumes about the skill and aesthetic sensibilities of the potter of its time. The iron-like patterns within the soft white glaze—a signature feature of Shino ware—embody the wabi-sabi philosophy, celebrating imperfection and transience.
This Shino tea bowl is not only a functional item for tea ceremonies but also serves as a statement piece that adds a touch of Japanese refinement to any space. With its rich historical background and the charm of handmade artistry, this tea bowl invites you to incorporate a piece of traditional Japanese culture into your tea rituals or daily life.
