This is a Hagi-yaki tea bowl, made by Koyo Hayashi. This bowl is characterized by the soft texture typical of Hagi-yaki and the way its appearance deepens with use. The overall subdued color gives it a wabi-sabi feel. It would be a great piece for enjoying matcha, and also as a decorative item. The purchase date is unknown, but it has been carefully stored for a long time. There are no noticeable chips or cracks, but there are individual variations and the natural aging of the pottery. Please check the photos carefully and purchase only if you are satisfied with the condition. The original box is not included. This is a used item stored at home, so it is recommended for those who understand Hagi-yaki and old pottery. If you like tea ceremony utensils or are looking for a bowl with a good atmosphere, please consider this.
