Kyoto ware, Kiyomizu ware, Hozan kiln, Princess tea bowl, red mesh pattern, B9-2

Kyoyaki (Kiyomizu ware) is one of Kyoto's most representative traditional crafts. Its origins lie in the Gojozaka area, the approach to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, where many kilns, including those of Kiyomizu Rokubei and Takahashi Michihachi, were located. The hand-drawn designs have a three-dimensional quality not found in printed pieces, and the construction and designs evoke a distinctly Kyoto atmosphere. In Kyoyaki, small tea bowls are also called "hirako." While the pattern may appear simple, it highlights the highly skilled craftsmanship required for this piece. As this item is handmade, slight variations in size, color, and pattern may occur. Comes in a presentation box. Size: Approx. 10.2cm diameter x 4cm height. Weight (kg): 0.055g. Material: Porcelain. Made in Japan.
