Matcha tea bowl by Wakutani Teiichi, Kiyomizuyaki
Craftmanship of Wakutani Teiichi tenmoku glaze specialist.
This tea bowl is the replica of the famous tenmoku tea bowl made in the Chinese Ji Zhou kiln from the Southern Sung dynasty.
It is made using a special double glazing technique, where after applying the first coat of glaze they remove it from random places, then apply a coat of clear glaze. The marvellous pattern this method results in resembles the shell of the peculiar Hawksbill turtle. The tea bowls name, "Bessan" also comes from this.
Turtles are the symbol of long life in Asia and appear in many areas of art.
This hand made tea bowl has unique pattern, different on each piece. Upon order, we send pictures to the customer of the tea bowls in our stock and they can choose the one they like the most.
This product is shipped with a wooden box signed by the artist.
We also include a chakin (small linen cloth to wipe the tea bowl) as a gift.
