Only a master of aesthetics and a hermit could put his tea bowl together, here an amazing work by Harada Shuroku enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Bizen Ran-cho Chawan (Unsystematic). Inside the lid it is named Cloud Evaporating into Dragon.  The spectacular glaze effects are surpassed by the texture, seemingly made by an octopus; and it might take eight hands to hold this masterpiece. 
Size, D 14.2 x 15.6 cm H 11.2  cm
Condition, Excellent
