A modern Japanese ceramic tea bowl (chawan) made by potter Toyoda Katsuhiko (1945-). The bowl was potted in clog form with a short ring foot in the tradition of Shino ware. Its size and harmonious proportion make it perfect to be held in both hands during tea ceremony. Classified as E-shino (painted-shino) ware, a sub type of high-fired Mino ware produced in Seto and Mino areas of Gifu Prefecture (Mino ware was originated in the late 16th century of Edo period as Japan's first high-fired, white-glazed pottery). The chawan was minimally decorated with an underglaze blue cross. The iconic milky white glaze displays a wonderful fine crackles and small pinholes known as suana in Japanese (nest holes). This is a characteristic of Shino ware named yuzuhada (citron skin) and this feature was historically cherished and favored by tea masters. The base of the bowl was unglazed and marked with the potter's insignia. The bowls comes with a storage wood box.
Toyoda Katsuhiko is a Japanese potter from Daigo, Ibaraki Prefecture. Trained at Katojuemongama kiln in Ogayam Mino and started his own kiln in Kasama in 1973. He focuses his work on Shino tea ceremony wares.
