Description

A fascinating chawan in the Oribe style, impressing with its high-contrast design and artistic execution. The combination of black and white glaze is complemented by a delicate, hand-painted floral motif that lends the bowl a poetic lightness. The irregular shape underscores the handcrafted nature of this piece and embodies the philosophy of wabi-sabi, which celebrates the beauty of imperfection.

This tea bowl made of Oribe ware is not only a functional object for the tea ceremony, but also a work of art that combines traditional aesthetics with modern expressiveness. The earthy tones and the elaborate details invite one to consciously and mindfully enjoy the moment of preparing tea.

A true eye-catcher in any collection, this chawan is perfectly suited as a gift for lovers of Japanese culture or as an enriching element for one's own tea practice. Every detail speaks of masterful craftsmanship and the deeply rooted tradition of Oribe ware.
