CHW-520: (CHW-520), Shino-yaki Chawan, Signed Toutou with Kiribako

Recently acquired pre-owned Chawan with signed kiribako (wooden box).

Only one available.

Rooted in the Mino tradition of Japan's Momoyama period (late 16th century), Shino ware represents one of the earliest forms of white-glazed ceramics in Japan. This Chawan—crafted in the distinctive Shino style—features a soft feldspar glaze with subtle variations in tone, iron brushwork or scorch marks, and the characteristic "crawling" or "pinhole" textures that emerge during firing. Known for evoking rustic warmth and quiet introspection, Shino bowls are prized in the Japanese Tea Ceremony for their tactile surface, generous form, and the interplay of glaze and flame that makes each piece truly one of a kind.
