Tentatively Attributed Heian Shunpo Pale Crackle-Glazed Matcha Tea Bowl
THB 1,000
A refined Japanese matcha bowl of rounded conical form, finished in a soft ivory-to-pale gray translucent glaze with a fine, even network of crackle. The unglazed, warm buff foot provides a quiet contrast to the luminous glazed surface. A four-character mark within the foot appears to read 「平安春峰」, tentatively linking the bowl to the Kyoto tea-ceramics name Heian Shunpo (Inoue Shunpo). That reading, the Kyoto attribution, and the date must remain qualified pending a sharper mark photograph, examination in hand, and—ideally—an original signed box or provenance. No painted decoration is visible; the bowl's restrained character depends on its balanced wheel-thrown profile, pale glaze, and intentional crackle texture.

Object details
- Condition
- Very good
Photographs show a clean, glossy bowl with no clearly visible rim chips, hairline cracks, repaired areas, or major glaze losses. Fine crackle is present throughout and appears inherent to the glaze, not evidence by itself of structural damage. Condition remains photo-based only; inspect the rim, foot, and interior under raking light before sale. - Origin
- Likely Kyoto, Japan (Kyo-yaki / Kiyomizu-yaki tradition), contingent on the tentative reading of the foot mark.
- Kiln / maker
- Tentatively attributed by mark to Heian Shunpo / Inoue Shunpo; unverified from photographs alone.
- Estimated era
- Probably postwar to late-20th-century Japanese studio/production tea ware, approximately 1950–2000; a narrower date is not supportable from the photographs.
confidence: low - Inventory no.
