Aka-oribe Chawan by Aisuke

Artisan and Design: Ceramics: Pottery: Bowls Pre 1970: item #760192

Here is a very interesting Aka-oribe chawan (red oribe tea bowl). The rim has the characteristic emerald and blue tones of Oribe wares. The drawings depict the end of an arrow on one side and a target on the other. In a way, this martial motif is a reminder of the origin of Oribe pottery, which was greatly influenced by General Furuta Oribe (1544-1615), who saw beauty in asymmetrical and cracked tea vessels. Many warlords of Furuta’s era cultivated a keen interest for the tea ceremony. This... Click for details

Red Raku-yaki Chawan by Tanyan

Artisan and Design: Ceramics: Pottery: Bowls Pre 1960: item #760189

This very attractive bowl is a red Raku chawan: a tea bowl made for the Japanese tea ceremony. The subtly nuanced shades of red with hints of greens and the delicate lightness of its design are expressions of its ephemerality and make it a true descendant of the great Raku vessels, which were once called Ima-yaki, literally now-ware. The chawan bears the marks of a potter named Tanyan, who is not really known except for the fact that he must have worked at a kiln near the Saidai temple in Nara... Click for details

Katsuhiko is an eccentric artist, working aptly in not only pottery, but also painting ... Click for details

Artisan and Design: Ceramics: Pottery: Bowls Contemporary: item #758611

Kato Takeshi ( also known as Kato Ken ) is a fast rising star in the world of yakimono ( Japanese ceramics ). He is influenced by Kato Kozo. This is a traditionally wood fired chawan with good clay and a rich underpainted glaze that shows the fingermarks of the artist when he held it and dipped it in the glaze. Very nice traditional Shino bowl. Great foot too. Dai ichi arts had a chawan up for sale a few years ago for $1650, and it was not as nice as this one! About 5"+ diameter ( big ), exc...

Artisan and Design: Ceramics: Pottery: Bowls Contemporary: item #758486

Tenmoku wares are some of the most magnificent and difficult potteries to make, and within that world of exquisite ceramics, the chawan (tea bowl) is the crown jewel. A great Tenmoku chawan, more than a piece of heaven, is the image of heaven itself. Looking inside a Tenmoku bowl, made by Unokawa Kazumasa, is like gazing deep into the cosmos. There and then the profound essence of the vessel can be known, as one wonders whether she is looking inward or outward; probably both. Unokawa Kazumas... Click for details

This remarkable chawan (tea bowl) was made by a potter named Unokawa Kazumasa, a master craftsman of Tenmoku ware, one of the most difficult to make.

This exceptional hachi (bowl) presents the warm earthy tones of unglazed pottery and the stellar qualities of Unokawa Kazumasa’s work. Its soothing aura seems to shine through the nacreous tones and out of the bowl to captivate and invite to touch.
