Probable Heian Shunpo White Crackle-Glazed Tea Bowl, Kyoto Style
THB 476.44
A low, rounded Japanese tea bowl finished in a softly lustrous ivory glaze with dense, fine crackling. The pared-back form has a gently flared rim and a small trimmed ring foot with warm buff clay showing at the edge. A dark base mark appears to read 「平安春峰」, a name used in the Kyoto tea-ceramics field and associated in market references with Inoue Shunho. Because the seal is not fully sharp in the photographs and no signed storage box is supplied, this should be catalogued as an attributed, rather than confirmed, Heian Shunpo/Inoue Shunho example. No measurements or weight are stated or inferred.

Object details
- Condition
- Very good
No rim chips, visible cracks, or obvious restoration are apparent in the supplied views. The fine network across the glaze appears to be intentional crazing. Inspection under raking light and close photographs of the rim, interior, and foot edge are still needed to rule out hairlines, staining, and small glaze losses. - Noted imperfections
- No discrete defect is visible in these photographs; photographic resolution and glare limit condition certainty.
- Origin
- Probable Kyoto, Japan (Kyō-yaki/Kiyomizu-yaki tradition), based on the apparent 「平安春峰」 mark; not proven from photographs alone.
- Kiln / maker
- Possibly Heian Shunpo / Inoue Shunho (井上春峰), Kyoto tea-ceramics workshop; attribution is tentative pending a sharper mark photograph and, ideally, the original signed box.
- Estimated era
- Probably Shōwa to Heisei period, approximately 1960–2000; low-confidence visual estimate only.
confidence: low - Inventory no.
