VIntage item, never used. A beautiful Odo Ware (尾戸焼) Matcha Tea Bowl (茶碗) from Kochi Prefecture, Japan, featuring a soft, warm beige glaze with subtle earthy tones and natural speckling.
The bowl has a gently rounded shape, a smooth glazed surface, and a traditional unglazed foot ring. Its understated appearance reflects the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi, celebrating simplicity, natural textures, and imperfect beauty.
Odo Ware (尾戸焼) is a historic Japanese pottery tradition originating in 1653, during the Edo period. Established under the patronage of Lord Yamauchi Tadayoshi of the Tosa Domain (present-day Kochi Prefecture), the kiln originally produced ceramics for the feudal lord and the Japanese tea ceremony.
Odo Ware is particularly appreciated for its refined craftsmanship and connection to traditional Japanese tea culture. Its pottery ranges from delicately decorated pieces to rustic, minimalist tea bowls that highlight the natural beauty of clay and glaze.
