Japanese Stoneware Bowl – Han Tsutsu Gata & brown Glaze

Discover a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship with this stoneware bowl, an authentic piece steeped in history and tradition. Measuring 10 cm in diameter and 7.5 cm in height, its “Han Tsutsu Gata” (半筒形) shape, which means “half-cylinder,” is particularly prized for its tall, straight silhouette. Traditionally used for winter tea ceremonies, this shape helps to retain heat, offering a tasting experience that is both intimate and comforting.

The bowl is covered with a glossy glaze in a camaieu of brown transitioning to white. This rich, earthy color palette, combined with its luminous finish, gives the piece a unique depth and a remarkable presence. The variations in shades and subtle nuances create an abstract design that invites contemplation.
