The box is labeled "Hannya-pottery teabowl." I couldn't find any information on "Hannya pottery," and I'm unable to accurately interpret the brush-script since I have no experience with calligraphy. The characters on the box appear to have been written by a 78-year-old man and seem to praise Niwa Yoshinobu. It is possible that the teabowl and the drawing on the box were created by Niwa Yoshinobu, and the 78-year-old man who commissioned or otherwise came to possess this teabowl wrote the calligraphy on the box. In my research on Niwa Yoshinobu, it seems he once stayed at a place called Hannyu, which suggests that "Hannyu" is not a geographical name or a ceramic technique but merely the name of the hermitage where the teabowl was made.
Niwa Yoshinobu (1742-1786)

Afterwards, he led a solitary and independent life, cooking for himself. He favored Ming paintings and excelled in landscape painting, becoming considered the founder of Owari Nanga.
