This remarkable tea bowl is from the kilns of Yoshida Shuen (1940-1987)—an apprentice of Miwa Kyusetsu (1910-2012) who was awarded the status of Living National Treasure in 1983. It features a warm milky beige glaze with light umber accents and shows a bit of exposed clay on the kodai (foot) where the artists seal is located.

Hagi-yaki has a tradition stretching back over 400 years and is a high-fired stoneware type of pottery. Hagi-ware is prized for its subdued colors and classical features, especially the glazing, which is often clear and vivid. Hagi is also well-known for frequently utilizing a milky, flowing white overcoating and crackled glazing as seen here.

In excellent condition, this piece measure 4.9 inches in diameter (12.4 cm) and stands 3.5 inches tall (9 cm). It comes with a wood tomobako, a yellow protective cloth, and an insert in Japanese detailing the artist and the kiln.
