White-gold & Red Chawan Tea Bowl ー東井 真咲朝 "赫飛白金碗"

A striking deep Chawan tea bowl in vivid red splashed over white gold by Toi Masatomo enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Aka-tobi Hakukin-wan. It is 12.5 (5 inches) diameter, 9.5 cm (just under 4 inches) tall and is in excellent condition, directly from the artist. Toi Masatomo was born in Aichi Prefecture in 1992, and graduated the Design course at the Tajimi Ceramics Research Facility in 2019. Since he has been developing his series of “Thorny” vessels and objects. At the same time he has been studying the way of tea, and these bowls are his first unadorned venture into the tea world (although we will also offer a few striking horned chawan as well). His works have been featured in a number of group and juried exhibitions, and we expect great things in his future.
