Hand-Gilded Japanese Deer Tea Bowl 2.7oz

Handcrafted Artisan Japanese Tea Bowl With Natural Gilded Motifs

This compact 2.7oz (80ml) Japanese tea bowl (chawan) is crafted for quiet, mindful tea tasting, bringing elegant Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics to your daily tea ritual. Featuring a hand-gilded nature motif and artisanal glazed finish, it balances practical function and timeless beauty perfectly.

Unique Design & Craftsmanship

• Artful Glaze Work: The deep indigo glazed body features soft, naturally blended color gradients and subtle textured speckling, created with a modern interpretation of traditional Japanese glaze techniques. No two bowls have identical glaze patterns, making each piece one-of-a-kind.
• Elegant Gilded Motifs: Each bowl is finished with hand-detailed gilded illustrations of Japanese natural imagery — including deer (shika), pine, birds, mountains, waves and ginkgo leaves. The warm gold detailing pops beautifully against the dark glaze for a striking, luxurious look.
• Thoughtful Shape: This low, rounded bowl shape with a small elevated foot fits comfortably in your palm for easy holding. The raised foot keeps your hand from direct contact with warm tea, maintaining your ideal drinking temperature while adding refined visual balance.

Cultural Meaning

In Japanese culture, the deer (shika) is a sacred symbol of good fortune, longevity and gentle harmony with nature. Combining this meaningful symbol with tranquil natural motifs, this tea bowl invites slow, peaceful enjoyment of tea, aligning with the core spirit of Japanese tea ceremony.
