| An unusual large basin made up of 11 pottery Karatsu shards dating from the Momoyama to early Edo periods called in Japanese Yobitsugi. This particular bowl is quite fine, with the pieces bound together with a silver gray lacquer mixture, one side slightly flattened, with a large bubble swelling outside the bowl like a second leg. The dish is roughly 10 inches (25 cm) diameter, the undulating rim averaging roughly 3 inches high. The Yobitsugi tradition of assembling chawan and other tea related items began in the mid Edo period. Some might call it Mingei but it was ultimately to serve the subdued interiors of the tea-rooms. Traditionally imperfect pieces were smashed when removed from the kiln, and at one point it became fashionable to reassemble the recovered pieces into a new bowl. | ||||||||||||||
