This Japanese antique tea bowl, crafted during the Meiji era, is a stunning example of Kyoto ware ceramics designed for tea enthusiasts seeking authentic traditional Japanese cup experiences. Known as an antique Japanese chawan, this handmade Tenmoku cup features a distinctive fukurin metal rim technique, where the protective metal binding of brass encases the bowl's edge, combining durability with elegance. Measuring approximately 6 cm in height and 12.5 cm in diameter (2.4 in × 4.9 in) and weighing just 190 grams (6.7 oz), this vintage matcha bowl offers a lightweight yet sturdy vessel ideal for seasonal tea ceremonies or daily use.


The bowl’s crackle glaze pattern enhances its visual appeal while reflecting its age and history. As a ceramic tea utensil, it carries subtle color variations developed over time that add to its unique character. The metal rim not only protects the delicate ceramic but also complements the white glaze finish with a refined metallic shine, making it both functional and decorative.


This piece comes with a wooden storage box for safe keeping, though the original box is not included. Despite a tiny chip on the foot rim, it remains fully usable and retains its dignified presence.
