Takatori ware is a type of Japanese pottery that originated in Fukuoka Prefecture. Known for its “Kirei-sabi” aesthetic, pioneered by tea master Kobori Enshu in the 17th century, Takatori ware has a history that spans over 400 years. The pottery's delicate and refined designs have made it highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
This tea bowl is decorated with a charming underglaze hand-painted calligraphic, zoomorphic rendition of the Chinese character for 'tiger'. Such bowls are usually made in celebration of the relevant Zodiac year, but may be enjoyed for their innate beauty regardless of the time or season. less
