Thank you for viewing! This matcha bowl, reminiscent of a fiery memory, features a striking and warm crimson color that catches the eye. Enjoy the depth of expression unique to vintage pieces, which will gently soothe your heart each time you hold it. 【Product Description】 This matcha bowl boasts a rich landscape, embodying the beauty of Japanese tradition. It is a superb piece with the thick, plump glaze texture characteristic of Shino ware and a stunning contrast of crimson (hii-iro) colors created by kiln transformation. A tasteful inscription, possibly reading "Hide," is carved on the side of the foot, suggesting it is a work by the master craftsman Kato Hide, or perhaps an item that follows the tradition of Hagi ware. Delicate "nyu" (crackling) appears on the surface, offering the "joy of nurturing" as its flavor deepens with use. 【Uses】 Perfect not only as a matcha bowl for authentic tea ceremonies, but also useful as a cafe au lait bowl or a colorful bowl for serving simmered dishes, taking advantage of its soft shape. It is also ideal for interior decoration to brighten up a modern Japanese space, or for entertaining important guests. 【Condition】 A beautiful, unused item that has been carefully stored. There are no cracks or chips. Please enjoy the "scenery" unique to handmade items, such as the characteristic "nyu" (surface cracks) of pottery, glaze unevenness, and the color of the firing. 【Size】 Diameter: Approximately 12cm - 12.5cm Height: Approximately 8cm - 8.5cm 【Shipping Method】 Rakuraku Mercari Delivery (anonymous shipping) We will carefully protect your precious item with cushioning material and ship it with perfect packaging. 【Notes】 * Since this item is also listed elsewhere, priority will be given to the first person to purchase it if there are multiple offers. 【Dedicated Hashtag】 #retrozakkairoiroaruyo You can jump to other items from here. #KatoHide #Shinoyaki #Hagiyaki #MatchaBowl #TeaUtensils #Minoyaki #WhiteShino #Crimson #ArtistMade #TraditionalCrafts #WaModern #CafeAuLaitBowl #Antique #TeaCeremony #JapaneseTableware #SmallBowl #LargeBowl #UnusedItem #AntiqueGoods #VintageTableware #FleaMarket #OldTools #TeaTime #Hospitality #PotteryFair #DiscontinuedItem #RareItem #WithMark
