Description
Teabowl or Chawan, "Clog shaped, " decorated in iron black glaze with a reserved natural colored ground glazed in black with plant forms. From the Metropolitan Museum of Art: "Tea bowls in the Oribe style were often shaped something like ancient clogs and described as kutsugata, or "clog-shaped." After a round tea bowl had been formed on the wheel, it was indented in several places, destroying the circular shape and producing an asymmetrical form. The exterior surface of the bowl was then worked with a spatula to make it rough and uneven. Flamboyant distortions and irregularities of this type characterize the aesthetics of Oribe ware." 3.75 in.h x 5.52 in. dia. Condition: excellent.
