This is a Kin-yo (Jun glaze) confectionary bowl by Kazuyoshi Kitamura. The pale wisteria-purple Jun glaze gently complements the white of Japanese sweets. The "space" created when Japanese sweets are placed on it is beautiful, and it's a vessel that soothes your feelings. Perfect for tea ceremonies, seasonal fruits, or small serving bowls. The expression changes with the light, and the white rim subtly defines the scene. It's a vessel with a quiet elegance. I've placed Kanoko (a type of Japanese sweet) in it for the New Year. It beautifully completes the scene of a tea gathering. I think it's easy to handle in terms of size. The Jun glaze appears to be a single color, but it has a "quiet elegance" that changes with the light. It's an item from about 40 years ago, and it has been carefully stored unused. There are no noticeable scratches, chips, or cracks, and it's in excellent condition with a good luster. Size: • Diameter: Approximately 20cm • Height: Approximately 7cm Please note that items other than the confectionary bowl are not included. It comes with a matching box, and the purchase record is also available. Considering the good condition and the current state, the price is set within a reasonable range. It will be carefully packed and delivered with the utmost care. It's a Kin-yo vessel that will shine at small New Year's confectionery gatherings or during winter tea time. The colors are very beautiful, and the shape is elegant, making it a work that exudes the quality of a "tea ceremony vessel." Purchased at Kaji-mura, a tea utensil specialty store in Kyoto. There is some slight soiling on the box, likely due to storage.
