Kutani tea bowls are prized for their artistic beauty and traditional motifs. Hailing from Ishikawa Prefecture, these bowls are traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony, known as "chanoyu" or "sado." Kutani tea bowls are characterised by their exquisite hand-painted designs, often featuring intricate patterns, landscapes, floral motifs, and vibrant colours.
Kutani ware boasts a long history, dating back to the 17th century, and has gone through various artistic periods, each with its unique characteristics. Some common styles of Kutani tea bowls include the Aote, Iroe, and Ko-Kutani styles, with each offering distinct visual aesthetics. 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 bright scene of spring flowers blooming on colourful mountains. On the interior of the bowl are hair-thin calligraphic poems from famous tea waka (和歌). A few signs of use, otherwise good condition. No signed box included. less
