This tall and lovely Hagi chawan rests firmly on a wari kodai or “split foot” pedestal that is unglazed—displaying the coarse rich clay. The crackled milky glaze covers the curves and contours of the bowl, contrasting dramatically between the foot and the clay body. Hagi-ware such as this is part of a tradition stretching back over 400 years and is a high-fired stoneware type of pottery. Hagi-ware is prized for its subdued colors and classical features, especially the glazing, which is often clear and vivid. Hagi is also well-known for frequently utilizing a milky, flowing white overcoating and crackled glazing as seen here.
At 5.3 inches in diameter (13.5 cm) and standing 5.7 inches tall (14.5 cm), this piece is in fine antique condition with several small gold repairs. It comes with a beautiful period box wrapped in fine silk cloth with a tag that reads 古萩 (antique Hagi) 大茶碗 (large tea bowl). The bowl also comes with a custom fit silk pouch (shifuku). *** Free international shipping and Insurance included int eh price.
