Slightly distorted shoe shaped (kutsugata) tea bowl with a rounded brim, made of light, coarse, unrefined Mino clay. The expertly thrown body was trimmed with a potter's knife in its lower part around the foot ring.
In the style of Ao-Kuro bowls this bowl was covered with a green copper oxide glaze. A window on the side was left unglazed and split in two halves - one was decorated with a scetch of a fence in iron oxide engobe with an image of drying shibukaki on rice strings, the other half was decorated with a sketch of a fence in iron oxide on the unglazed white clay, over which finally a transparent ash glaze was applied.
Some parts on and inside the chawan appear in a beautiful blue which makes this bowl very unique.
No chips or cracks.
It comes with a newer wooden box.
Size: 8,3 cm height x 15,2 cm in diameter.
