Oribe Cylindrical Tea Bowl | Tsutsu-Chawan with Iron-Painted Vine Motif and Green Rim

Oribe ware emerged from Furuta Oribe's deliberate disruption of the austere Rikyu aesthetic — asymmetry, iron painting, the unexpected green. This tsutsu-chawan carries that lineage in full: white crackle body, vine and ivy traced in iron oxide, the green Oribe rim arriving where you do not expect it. The cylindrical form is a winter form, designed to hold warmth.

🔹 [ BASIC DETAILS ]

• Era: Contemporary
• Origin: Mino, Gifu
• Dimensions: Height approx. 10.5 cm, Diameter approx. 9.5 cm
• Box: None noted

Nine point five centimeters at the rim, ten point five centimeters tall. The proportions suit a standing pour, tea drawn upward through the depth of the vessel. No chips, no cracks, no repairs.

Winter tea asks for enclosure. The tsutsu-chawan encloses. The vine motif continues across the surface without resolution — it does not arrive anywhere. That incompletion is the point.
