| This Irabo chawan is a splendid example of the simple beauty of this genre of tea bowl, revered by Japanese tea ceremony masters from the 16th century. The Irabo pottery tradition was introduced to Japan from Korea and its appellation refers to the rough surface which has very little glaze. This quality and the yellow and brown tones of the bowl, made by Shimizu Masatsugu (1919-1990), convey the sense of enlightened serenity of a ware with humble origins turned into a tea ceremony vessel. Shimizu Masatsugu was a Kyoto potter who studied under the sixth Shimizu Rokube. The chawan bears the seal of the potter and is in perfect condition. It will be shipped in a signed box. Dimensions: 14.5 cm x 8.5 cm (5.8 in x 3.4 in), Weight: 305 g (10.7 oz) More pictures available on demand. | |||||||||||||||
