Kutani tea bowls are prized for their artistic beauty and traditional motifs. Kutani tea bowls are characterised by their exquisite hand-painted designs, often featuring intricate patterns, landscapes, flora, and vibrant colours. Bamboo is a popular motif, appearing in paintings, textiles, ceramics, and more.
Kutani ware boasts a long history, dating back to the 17th century, and has gone through various artistic periods, each with its unique characteristics. The combination of artistry, functionality, and historical significance makes Kutani tea bowls highly sought after by collectors and tea enthusiasts alike, as they contribute to the rich tapestry of Japanese tea culture.
This bowl features a bold red and gold bamboo design upon a gold background. On the interior of the bowl are hair-thin calligraphic poems from famous tea waka (和歌). Some minor scuffing of the illustrations, otherwise good condition. Original box included. less
