A teabowl fired in Mino in the early Edo period. It is distinguished by its glossy Shino glaze that extends gracefully down to the waist. The bowl features spiral spatula marks around the foot. On the interior, three small spurmarks remain, a characteristic feature of traditional kiln stacking methods, while an intricate network of crazing adds to its visual appeal.

This teabowl is believed to have been fired in a Nobori-gama (ascending kiln), likely alongside pieces in the Shino-Oribe style, which shares its aesthetic qualities. Despite its relatively small diameter of about 10 cm, the bowl exudes charm and practicality, making it an ideal Tabi-Chawan, a compact teabowl for travel use.

As an excavated piece, it bears rim chips and hairlines, which have been repaired using silver and lacquer. Remarkably, the glaze has retained its original lustre, enhancing the bowl’s timeless elegance.
