Like many pottery traditions in Japan, Karatsu takes its name from the city where it originated. As early as the 15th century, Korean potters heavily influenced the development of this form—helping to endow it with the earthy, simple, and natural qualities it is so appreciated for. With crackled glazing and beautiful gold repairs of several types and from several generations, this antique tea bowl is quite attractive, a pleasure to use, and absolutely one of a kind.
In fine antique condition, this piece measures 4.9 inches in diameter (12.5 cm) and stands 2.4 inches tall (6 cm). It comes with a wooden box with the words “ei-karatsu” (painted Karatsu) “chawan” (tea bowl) written on the top of the lid. * International shipping and insurance included in the price.
