Studio Pottery: Small Bowl Mingei Pottery Style.

Vintage studio pottery small bowl in the Mingei / Wabi-Sabi tradition — origin unconfirmed.

A beautiful hand-thrown chawan-style bowl featuring a vibrant reactive glaze in orange, brown, beige, green, yellow, grey, and speckled tones. The textured orange exterior contrasts with a dark interior glaze. Research suggests this may be a Japanese studio pottery chawan (matcha tea bowl) in the Wabi-Sabi style — embracing imperfection and naturalness in its rustic texture and organic form. A stunning display piece or functional matcha bowl.

  • Reduction atmosphere firing enhances the colour flow and depth — similar to a commercial "Flame Glaze" effect.
  • Wabi-Sabi aesthetic — beauty in imperfection, organic form, and natural texture.
  • Use as a matcha bowl, key holder, or standalone display piece.
Did you Know?

The chawan — Japanese tea bowl — is considered one of the most important objects in the Japanese tea ceremony (Chado). Wabi-Sabi chawan are deliberately irregular, asymmetrical, and rustic, reflecting the philosophy that beauty is found in impermanence and imperfection. The Mingei movement, founded by Soetsu Yanagi in 1920s Japan, celebrated everyday handmade objects as the highest form of art — influencing studio potters worldwide, including in South Africa, where its aesthetic became deeply embedded in the local studio pottery tradition from the 1970s onward.
