Vintage Kyo-yaki Matcha Tea Bowl, Japanese Matcha Tea Bowl, Kiyomizu-yaki, Heian Kouun, Tea Bowl, Unused, Displayed,
This Kyo-yaki / Kiyomizu-yaki Matcha tea bowl was made by Heian Kouun.
It comes with its Tomobako (original signed paulownia box) and a retailer-provided information sheet.
We acquired this tea bowl from our relative. She did not use it for tea but displayed it on a tea shelf.
The inside and outside of the Chawan are fully decorated with painted patterns.
The box shows discoloration from age, and the lid is slightly warped.
There are no visible signs of use, and the gold gilding remains in excellent condition.
