An impressive Japanese pouring bowl (katakuchi), crafted from solid wood and finely finished with a deep black lacquer. The piece rests on an elegant conical foot and features a gracefully shaped spout, creating a sculptural and timeless silhouette.
Dimensions: height 20 cm, length (incl. spout) 35 cm, diameter 26 cm
Traditionally, katakuchi were used for serving sake or broths during rituals and festive gatherings. The substantial weight and refined lacquer finish of this example suggest a luxurious, possibly ceremonial function.
Today, it also serves beautifully as a unique decorative object in a contemporary interior. It can be displayed as a sculptural centerpiece on a table or sideboard, or repurposed as a functional vessel for nuts, citrus, or carefully selected fruits. The contrast between the sleek form and the subtle signs of age gives it a characterful presence, making it an ideal piece for a modern wabi-sabi setting.
The bowl is in very good condition, with light traces of age that enhance its authenticity and charm.
