Description

Stoneware with white and grey slip brushed under a clear glaze.
This bowl belongs to the tradition of Korean ceramics but was most likely made by a Japanese potter.
The white slip technique is particularly expressive here and the deformation of the bowl, which is probably deliberate, is characteristic of the Japanese taste in tea ceremony ceramics.
