Autumn Maple Motif Chawanmushi Lidded Bowl

This lidded bowl is crafted in the Mino ware tradition.

Against a warm ochre background, delicate red, green, and white maple leaves appear to flutter across the surface, evoking the essence of a Japanese autumn.

The bowl's gently speckled glaze reveals iron particles beneath the surface, adding depth and texture reminiscent of a forest floor.

With its wide opening and moderate capacity, it is ideal for serving chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), nimono (simmered dishes), or other small portions.

The fitted lid helps retain heat, making it suitable for formal presentations and seasonal dishes.

Each bowl displays subtle variations in glaze texture and coloration, a hallmark of hand-crafted pottery that ensures every piece is uniquely its own.

Please note that the appearance and texture may vary slightly from piece to piece. Thank you for your understanding.
