This is a Takatori-style split-glaze teabowl made in Ise's Akogi ware. The contrast between the calm black glaze and the pale earthen color is beautiful, creating an elegant piece that evokes wabi-sabi. According to the included pamphlet, Akogi ware is in the lineage of Ko-Anto ware and is characterized by a style that incorporates the charm of Iga old pottery. This item also has a deep flavor, making it a teabowl that reflects that lineage. It is recommended not only as a tea utensil but also for interior decoration or appreciation. 【Condition】 ・No noticeable chips or cracks ・Little sign of use, in relatively good condition ・Some scratches on the original box (see photos) 【Size (approx.)】 Diameter: approx. 12cm Height: approx. 8cm *Please note that there may be slight variations due to amateur measurements. 【Accessories】 ・Original box ・Pamphlet 【Shipping】 We will carefully pack and ship via anonymous delivery. 【Other】 Please purchase only if you understand that this is a used item and has been stored at home.
