| Dimensions 3.75 x 3”, with a slightly larger box and silk bag. Dating 20th century. Perfect condition with gold accents. Honami Koetsu (1558-1637) was a Momoyama era tea ceremony potter, lacquer artist and calligrapher who concentrated his work almost entirely on tea bowls; he was the creator of the most famous tea bowl in Japan, known as “Fujisan”, done in Raku. His pottery is generally considered a raku type pottery, and his style was distinct in form from other tea ceremony potters working at the time. He was enormously influential in Japanese pottery and continues to inspire potters through to the present day. This 20th century example appears to originate from the Koetsu temple (characters marked inside box), and the piece itself has been titled “Takamine”, or “Hawk on a Mountain”. It is described on the box (Tomobako) as a Koetsu copy. The two gold lines are not repairs but part of the original piece. The bowl is accompanied by a silk shifuku case (see photos). | ||
