Vintage Hagi Ware Matcha Tea Bowl, Chawan, Morishige Eitetsu, Wari Kodai, Oni Hagi, Unused with Original Box and Cloth,
This Hagi ware Matcha tea bowl was made by Morishige Eitetsu (1930–2016).
The bowl has a strong, sculptural form with an Oni Hagi body and a distinctive Wari Kodai (split foot). Its glaze shows soft grayish-pink, gray, and earthy tones characteristic of Hagi ware.
Morishige Eitetsu was a Hagi potter whose work is known among collectors and tea practitioners. This piece came from a relative who collected Hagi ware and has been carefully preserved.
The bowl remains unused and comes with its Tomobako (original signed paulownia box), Tomonuno (original artist-stamped cloth), and an artist-provided leaflet. The date written on the wooden box is January 16, 1978.
