Japanese Chawan Matcha Bowl with Silver Rabbit Motif

This charming chawan (matcha tea bowl) features a hand-painted rabbit (usagi) motif accented with shimmering silver and gold tones (ginsai), making it a whimsical and elegant addition to any tea ceremony collection. The surface combines rustic textures and natural tones with an endearing white rabbit nestled within a colorful glaze patch, symbolizing good fortune and purity in Japanese culture.

Handcrafted with care, the bowl's rough-textured upper half contrasts beautifully with the smooth, earthy lower portion, capturing the spirit of wabi-sabi — the Japanese aesthetic of beauty in imperfection and simplicity.

Perfect for use in Japanese tea ceremony (chado), or as a unique decorative item. It comes with its original tomobako (signed wooden box), ensuring authenticity and making it ideal for collectors or as a thoughtful gift.
