Extremely Rare Takashi Ichikawa Set of 2 Footed Bowls (Small) This is a set of two footed bowls by the ceramic artist Takashi Ichikawa. These pieces have a quiet, refined presence, with the subtle variations and warmth unique to handmade crafts. The soft white glaze and understated foot create a beautiful aesthetic, naturally enhancing the presentation of food, fruits, and sweets. They are a convenient size for side dishes, Japanese sweets, fruits, or small appetizers. These minimalist yet impactful bowls are perfect for everyday use and are also recommended for collectors who appreciate fine tableware. I purchased these several years ago, but I am selling them due to decluttering for a move. They have been stored in a closet and have hardly been used, so there are no scratches or stains. Takashi Ichikawa Born in Shiga Prefecture in 1967. After studying sculpture, he worked at a pottery factory before becoming a ceramic artist. He built a kiln in Ibuki-cho in 1999 and exhibits his work throughout Japan and overseas. He is also highly regarded for his tea ceremony style, which incorporates plants, objects, and the environment found in the space, learned from the art of Kufu-cha.
