Edo Era Gennai Ware Chawan Tea Bowl

Edo Era, (1612-1868), 18th to early 19th century. An Edo Era Gennai Ware teabowl, mold formed with low relief geometric patterns and a slightly raised footrim, with bright yellow glazing, lightweight. The Gennai kiln (Hiraga Gennai) is believed to have opened in the mid Edo period (Hoeki Era, 1753-63) in Kagawa Prefecture . The kiln produced a lightweight pottery in the “Kochi” style, of South Chinese wares, and is best known for low relief plates depicting maps of Japan in typical Gennai glazing of yellow, brown and green. Very good condition, with some glaze wear and two faint hairlines. 4.5" across 12 cm, 2.8" tall, 7 cm.
