Japanese Oribe Ware Earthenware High Bowl Details A refined Japanese Oribe ware high bowl, distinguished by its softly asymmetrical profile and warm, earthy glaze tones. The bowl features a gently flared rim and elevated foot, with subtle variations in color and surface that reflect the expressive, spontaneous character for which Oribe ceramics are celebrated. Oribe ware emerged in Japan during the late Momoyama period and is known for its departure from strict symmetry, embracing natural irregularity and painterly glazing. This example shows a restrained palette of iron-rich browns and muted greenish hues with areas of natural pooling and kiln variation, lending depth and visual texture to the surface. Both sculptural and functional, the bowl embodies the Japanese aesthetic principles of wabi-sabi, valuing imperfection, material honesty, and quiet beauty. Dimensions 9 3/4" D x 5" H
