This Shino tea bowl is a historically valuable piece crafted during the Edo period (1603-1868). It showcases the hallmark characteristics of Shino ware, including the soft white glaze adorned with geometric iron-like patterns, embodying the spirit of wabi-sabi. The natural crackling (crazing) in the glaze highlights its timeless beauty, shaped by the passage of time.

The surface retains the texture of handmade craftsmanship, and the gentle form fits comfortably in the hand. The contrast between the yellowish glaze on the interior and the patterns on the exterior adds a distinctive charm to this bowl.

The base of the tea bowl, including its foot, reveals the warmth of the clay, a testament to the skill and artistic sensibilities of the potters of the time. The accompanying wooden box, with its aged patina, complements the tea bowl, further enhancing its historical appeal.

This Shino tea bowl is not only a functional item for tea ceremonies but also a decorative piece that brings the essence of Japanese aesthetics into any space. As a vessel that conveys the tea culture of the Edo period, this tea bowl would make an excellent addition to your collection.
