This listing is for a Kiyomizu-ware chawan made around 20 years ago.  It is wheel-thrown and the front is decorated with a pair of rather sad looking hariko tiger.  A hariko tiger is a papier-mâché creation with a gently bobbing head. This piece was most likely made to commemorate the Year of the Tiger back in 1998.  Please note that this piece is unsigned. *PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CHASHAKU TEA SCOOP IS NOT INCLUDED.

Kiyomizu-ware refers to a type or variation of Kyo-ware. Nonomura Ninsei is regarded as one of the key figures responsible for the development of the beautiful Kiyomizu-ware style that we know today. He produced tea utensils and mastered the secret technique for hand-painting overglaze enamels to look like brocade. This technique is very highly regarded and ranks up there with the finest Kutani-ware and Imari.
