Shōbu Tea Ceremony Bowl by Kotoura Kiln

Description

For nearly a century, Kotoura Kiln has produced fine Kyō-yaki (Kyoto ware) porcelain for both tea ceremony and daily use.  On this lovely chawan, overglaze images of rabbit-eared irises, called shōbu, are skillfully rendered in enamels and then detailed with 24-carat gold.  The body is deftly formed and perfectly balanced upon a well-crafted footring bearing the kiln stamp.

A lovely seasonal piece of ceramic art for the tea ceremony practitioner.

A wooden presentation box will be custom made to order and signed by the artist.  Delivery time for this item is 2 weeks.
