Japanese Stoneware Bowl – Han Tsutsu Gata & Shino Glaze

Discover a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship with this authentic stoneware bowl, steeped in history and tradition. Its “Han Tsutsu Gata” (半筒形) shape, which means “half-cylinder,” is highly prized for its tall, straight silhouette. Traditionally used for tea ceremonies in winter, this shape is designed to retain heat, offering a truly intimate and comforting tasting experience.

The bowl is covered with a distinctive Shino glaze (志野釉), renowned for its unique texture and satiny finish. Characterized by a milky white color, it features numerous small firing bubbles that, far from being flaws, are signs of its authenticity and character. These bubbles create a lively and tactile surface that invites you to touch it.

Once broken, this bowl was beautifully resurrected by the ancestral technique of kintsugi. Each fracture has been meticulously repaired and enhanced with pure 24-karat gold, transforming its imperfections into a network of luminous lines that bear witness to its history and resilience.

More than just an object, this bowl is a unique and perfectly functional work of art. It is ready to be reused to enrich your tasting moments, combining the beauty of tradition with the story of a rebirth.
