I am currently sorting through inherited items. This is a matcha tea bowl, an antique, a tea ceremony utensil, an antique ceramic piece, a tea ceremony utensil, that belonged to my grandfather, a collector of antiques. It has a very atmospheric and impressive composition, depicting the contrast between the beautiful, fantastical sunset Fuji and the silent, red Fuji silhouette illuminated by the morning sun. It appears to be quite old. A name is inscribed on the bottom. It was carefully stored in the back room of the tea room in the storehouse, under a display shelf, so it is likely a very good item. The bowl is made of a cream-colored clay, like unglazed pottery, with a translucent white glaze. On the side, within the white glaze, is a majestic and magnificent depiction of Mount Fuji, evoking the beginning of a day illuminated by the morning sun. The outline of the mountain is remarkably drawn with a single brushstroke. Inside the tea bowl, a fiery reddish-brown, grayish glaze and reddish-brown glaze blend together, as if Mount Fuji is enveloped in the sunset, dyed red. It's a truly fantastic and stunning piece, as if you are looking down at the red-tinged Fuji from above, creating a beautiful contrast of yin and yang, and bringing out many different atmospheres depending on where you look. It's a truly wonderful and atmospheric item. Size: 15.5cm wide, 6cm high, a well-balanced item. There is no box, but I will carefully pack and ship it. Shipping included. ◆About my grandfather's antique collection◆ My grandfather, who was an antique collector, collected antiques during his lifetime, and they have come out of the storehouse. I would like to put up for sale some of the good items. My grandfather was a hospital director in his lifetime and owned many works, including paintings and pottery by Living National Treasures, and he boasted about them, so I think they are all very good items. My grandchild and my mother are not very interested in antiques, and we don't know which works are by whom or what kind of pottery they are. We don't know if the items we are selling are Imari ware, Kutani ware, Shigaraki ware, or Seto ware. Even if they are wonderful works of art or very expensive items by Living National Treasures, we have no idea of their value. It's like a treasure hunt, but most of them have names, are one-of-a-kind, and are quite old, so I think they are valuable items. #TheLittlePrinceUltimateAntique ◼️The Little Prince's Listed Items◼️ Please click on the dog's face below, "The Little Prince," to check out our listings.
