Japanese Seto ware chawan. Handcrafted during the mid-Showa era at the historic Aoi Kiln by master potter Kato Shunji II (1892–1979), an Intangible Cultural Property recipient of Aichi Prefecture.
The tea bowl features a semi-translucent Seto glaze over hand-painted willow grass motif, on a stoneware body with an unglazed foot ring. Features the artists stamp reading "春二" (Shunji) near the base. Comes with Wooden tomboako presentation box.
Size - 13cm W x 7.5cm H
Era - Showā mid century, between 1945 -1975. The application of the semi-gloss feldspathic glaze, and the specific style of the iron-brushed willow branches strongly reflect Shunji’s post-war Showā period studio production.
Origin - Seto, Aichi Prefecture, Japan
Condition - Excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Beautiful natural glaze crackle and kiln character.
