By Shoka Kato Oribe Ware Gold-Painted Pine Design Tea Bowl With original box and cloth This item was carefully stored by my mother, who loved the tea ceremony. It was purchased over 30 years ago. This is an Oribe tea bowl made by the potter Shoka Kato, created in the late Showa to early Heisei periods. The design, featuring a pine motif in gold over the characteristic deep green glaze of Oribe ware, has an elegant atmosphere favored in Kyoto tea rooms, and gives the impression of a "Kyoto-style" aesthetic. On the other hand, the style and techniques are based on the orthodox tradition of Oribe ware, and the included pamphlet also notes the lineage of Mino pottery, such as Oribe, Shino, and Yellow Seto. The original box, cloth, and pamphlet are all included, making this a valuable tea utensil from a historical perspective. There are no noticeable chips or cracks, and it is in good condition, suitable for both use and appreciation. We recommend this item not only for tea ceremony enthusiasts, but also for those who appreciate Oribe ware and Kyoto-style designs.
