This Kutani ware tea bowl, crafted by the esteemed artisan Ryozan, embodies the refined beauty of Japanese ceramic artistry. The meticulously hand-painted peacock and peony motif, rendered in rich red and gold accents, reflects themes of nobility, prosperity, and elegance—a hallmark of Kutani craftsmanship.
The peacock, long associated with grace, dignity, and protection, is depicted with exquisite detail, its flowing plumage enhanced by delicate gold embellishments. Complementing this, the peony, a revered symbol of wealth and honor, blooms across the bowl’s surface, signifying abundance and cultural refinement. Together, these elements create a composition that is both visually striking and deeply meaningful in Japanese aesthetics.
Encased in its original signed wooden box, this tea bowl stands as an authentic collector’s piece, ideal for matcha and sencha ceremonies, kaiseki dining, and curated displays of Japanese artistry.
