Tead Off: For Sale: Oribe chawan
Here is another lovely Oribe chawan quite different from the last one. This measures 6.5cm (2 1/2") high, 11.5cm (4 1/2") across the rim. The brush strokes illustrate mountains and what looks to be calligraphy. Beautifully dripped glaze highlights the illustrations bringing out the cream color of the bowl. There is both fine crackling of the glaze and carving of the shape. There is an artist chop but I don't know who it is. I would estimate the age at 30 years or so. Oribe has a very nice feel in the hands and matcha looks beautiful inside of it. $26 + shipping costs. Your choice of EMS, SAL, Airmail.
