Attributed to Raku 10th Tannyu (1795-1854) Antique RAKU teabowl #5585

This high-grade authentic Japanese Black Raku matcha tea bowl (Chawan) is crafted in Kyoto, inheriting traditional Japanese tea ceremony aesthetics. The defining highlight of this vintage art piece is its hand-sculpted (Tebineri) form, which gives the body an organic contour and a gentle, comforting texture when held. Unlike wheel-thrown ceramics, the subtle asymmetry of the shape paired with the rich glaze expressions and the unglazed rough Kodai (foot ring) creates a captivating scenery that embodies the beauty of Wabi-Sabi. A circular "Raku" mark impressed on the side serves as a signature seal. Accompanied by its original wooden box (Tomobako) with calligraphy, this collectible tea vessel provides host and guests with wonderful conversation topics during the tea ritual (Haiken) regarding its texture, seal, and Kodai details. The deep glossy black glaze keeps the tea warm while contrasting beautifully with vivid green matcha. Ideal for Chanoyu enthusiasts, Japanese pottery collectors, and mindful tea practices.
