Contemporary Japanese Shino Style Ceramic Jar by Takeharu Kobayashi

Elevate your tea rituals or collection with this remarkable Shino ceramic mizuzashi (hot water pot) handcrafted by the esteemed potter Takeharu Kobayashi (b. 1943). This one-of-a-kind piece showcases the mastery of traditional Japanese Shino glazing techniques, characterized by its attractively organic and chunky textured appearance.

Its robust form and irregular texture provide both visual and tactile intrigue, ensuring it stands out in any display or practical use. Accompanied by its original signed wooden box (tomobako) and information sheet, the piece is authenticated as a true artisan creation, ideal for collectors or as a thoughtful gift for those who appreciate traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
