A Japanese ceramic Chawan (tea bowl) of e-Shino (painted Shino) ware style circa mid-late 18th century Edo period. The classically shaped bowl features an abstract blue paint of blue grass and displays strong characters in the milky white glaze, with overall crawling and crackling effect. One of the most distinctive characteristics of Shino that is exemplified on this bowl is the small pinholes called suana, which tea masters favor (termed as yuzuhada, or citron skin). The milky-white feldspar glaze displays subtle red scorching effect on the rim. The foot ring was left unglazed.
The bowl was purportedly purchased in Kyoto, Japan in 1990s and it comes with a custom fitted wooden box made by Hakoyoshi Kiribakoten in Tokyo. The box retains two paper labels from the gallery written in Kanji "Chawan, Shino-ware, Painted Grass, Mid-Edo period" as shown.
