Made by Shoka Kato Oribe Ware, Autumn Leaves Design, November Tea Bowl New, Unused / Comes with original box, cloth, and artist's pamphlet This item was carefully stored by my mother, who loved the tea ceremony. This is an Oribe ware tea bowl made by the ceramic artist Shoka Kato, produced in the late Showa to early Heisei periods. As the box inscription "Autumn Leaves Design, November" indicates, this seasonal tea bowl was created with late autumn (November) in mind, and features richly depicted red autumn leaves with gold accents. Against a calm gray glaze, the vermilion of the autumn leaves and the gold accents create a striking composition. While based on Oribe ware techniques, it also evokes the elegant atmosphere of "Kyoto-style" ceramics, favored in Kyoto tea rooms. This item is new and unused, having been carefully stored in its original box since purchase. There are no chips or cracks, and the condition is very good. It comes with the original box, cloth, and artist's pamphlet, making it a valuable piece for documentation and collection. Recommended for autumn tea ceremonies and gatherings, as well as for those who wish to collect seasonal tea bowls or who appreciate Oribe ware and Kyoto-style designs.
