Handcrafted in Japan | Floral Oribe Chawan in Purplish Grey & Verdant Green

This exquisite Oribe Chawan unites artistry and tradition in a vessel that feels both timeless and expressive. Across its surface, delicate hand painted florals bloom in intriguing brushstrokes of purplish-grey — colours that shifts gently with the light. The outer wall is cloaked in the signature Oribe green glaze, flowing fluidly over the rough clay beneath, its organic drips capturing the spirit of spontaneity central to the Oribe aesthetic.

Every brushstroke and contour bears the mark of the artisan’s hand — imperfect yet intentional, graceful yet bold. The tactile clay body provides a satisfying grip, while its generous form allows for smooth, rhythmic whisking.

A Living Expression of Oribe Tradition
Born in 16th-century Japan, Oribe ware (織部焼) revolutionised the tea ceremony with its playful asymmetry and expressive glaze work. Named after Furuta Oribe — a tea master who championed creativity and individuality — this style celebrates the unexpected union of earth, fire, and human touch.

Each piece is one of a kind, embodying the Oribe spirit of beauty in imperfection. This chawan is more than a vessel — it is a moment of quiet artistry, captured in clay.
