Old Karatsu Type – Kihara Kiln Mid-Edo period (18th century)
This is a distinguished Ko-Karatsu tea bowl, fired at the historic Kihara Kiln in Kyushu. The piece embodies the rustic elegance and understated beauty characteristic of Karatsu ware, reflecting the profound aesthetics of wabi-sabi. The soft, muted glaze has gracefully matured over time, revealing an exquisite aged patina, further enriched by tea stains that have subtly seeped into the surface—a testament to its long history of use in the tea practice. The delicate kannyu (crazing) patterns on the surface enhance its organic charm, while the understated brush-painted motifs evoke the timeless simplicity of early folk ceramics. The bowl’s form is well-balanced, with a slightly everted rim and a well-defined kodai (foot), indicative of the craftsmanship of the Kihara kiln. A restored section near the rim subtly narrates its journey through time, making it a cherished piece for both collectors and tea practitioners.
