Takemura Rizaemon Chawan – Warm Glaze Tea Bowl

A finely crafted chawan by Takemura Rizaemon, a respected potter known for continuing the traditions of Japanese ceramic artistry. This tea bowl is distinguished by its elegant, wide form (⌀ 14 cm, height 6 cm) and luminous glaze that flows from warm amber tones to soft whites, with subtle gradations highlighting the throwing rings inside the bowl.

The harmonious balance of color and texture reflects the beauty of natural materials and the mastery of the kiln. Its slightly shallow profile makes it particularly graceful for use in tea gatherings, where the glaze catches and reflects light beautifully.

The piece comes in its original signed tomobako (wooden box), which affirms its authenticity and adds to its value as a collector’s item.
