    This chawan (tea bowl for the tea ceremony) is a handcrafted piece made in the tradition of 志野焼 (Shino-yaki), a pottery style that emerged in the late 16th century in the Mino region (Gifu Prefecture, Japan).
    It is distinguished by a thick, white, and lustrous glaze, traversed by ferrous mottling and firing zones revealing blue-grey hues depending on the light.

    ✨ Aesthetic Features

    • Irregular shape: subtly asymmetrical, it evokes the spirit of wabi-sabi, valuing natural imperfection and the potter's touch.
    • White Shino glaze: dense, luminous, with iron inclusions forming organic veins characteristic of the Shino style.
    • Plainly glazed interior: pale grey hue with firing marks.
    • Hand-turned foot, unglazed, revealing an ochre clay characteristic of Mino kilns.
    • Artisan's mark pressed into the clay on the exterior base of the bowl.

    📦 Tomobako (Signed Original Box)

    The bowl comes in its tomobako 共箱, a custom-made wooden box for the object. The lid is calligraphed

    • Inscription: 志野茶盌 (Shino Chawan) – “Shino tea bowl”
    • Signature: Hand-written Kanji + red seal (hanko) of the artisan. Not clearly legible, as a precaution, the name is not affirmed.

    🦝 Our opinion: a magnificent Chawan in the pure Shino-yaki tradition! ✨ With calligraphed wooden box
