Tea Bowl in Izumino Ware by Izumino Kiln — Pre-owned
Hidari‑Uma (Left‑Facing Horse) with Calligraphy by Tea Master Jimyōsai

This tea bowl was crafted by the Izumino Kiln in the Izumino ware tradition, known for its refined forms, earthy glazes, and subtle textures that reflect the natural beauty of the clay. Each piece develops unique surface characteristics during firing, giving it a distinct character appreciated in Japanese tea practice.

The bowl features the Hidari‑Uma (Left‑Facing Horse) motif, accompanied by calligraphy from Tea Master Jimyōsai. In Japanese art, the Hidari‑Uma is considered an auspicious symbol, traditionally believed to bring good fortune, stability, and prosperity.

Izumino tea bowls are admired for their tactile warmth, gentle irregularity, and the quiet elegance they bring to tea gatherings.

This piece is offered in very good pre-owned condition and is suitable both for use in tea practice and for collectors who value Zen- or artist-inscribed tea ware with meaningful symbolism.
