This listing is for a Kyo-ware tsutsu jawan made around 20 years ago by Hoju Gama. Tsutsu jawan are winter tea bowls, their tall shape keeps the tea hotter for longer, flat hira chawan being the opposite and set aside for summer use. The jawan in this listing is wheel-thrown and decorated with red and white ume blossoms trimmed with gold overglaze enamel. Ume blossoms are one of the three friends of winter and are revered for their ability to withstand the cold of winter. This piece is made of high-fired stoneware and is suitable for daily use. The signature of the kiln can be found on the bottom and it comes with a red paper that contains a poem. Sorry, no box for this one. *PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CHASHAKU TEA SCOOP IS NOT INCLUDED.
Kyo-ware originated in the 17th century in Kyoto and features overglaze enamel pigments on a porcelain base. The porcelain base acts as white canvas, allowing for beautiful and superior quality designs to be painted. Kyo-ware artisans traditionally produced chawan and utensils for the tea ceremony, however contemporary potters specialize in tableware, tea ceremony items, incense holders, and okimono. Kyo-ware was designated as a traditional craft in 1977.
