This katakuchi tea bowl features the distinctive green glaze characteristic of Oribe ware. The flowing glaze across the surface creates a one-of-a-kind appearance, with natural patterns formed through the firing process serving as a key highlight. The spouted form combines practical function with sculptural beauty, adding a sense of movement and presence to the tea setting. Inside the bowl, areas of exposed clay and pooled glaze can be seen, and the structure from the interior base to the foot reflects defining elements of the Oribe style within Japanese ceramic tradition. Suitable not only as a tea utensil, this piece is also an appealing choice for use as a sake vessel.
