Shinobu Kawase’s White Tea Bowl is simple in form yet smart in design. By using a porcelain clay body, the piece, with a simple glaze overlay, feels like it is floating against the background. The subtle faceting along the sides of the tea bowl allow the piece to catch light, a gentle pattern that elevates the piece and surprises the viewer. The thickness of the walls make the piece enticing to hold. This piece is a great addition to any collection for display and use.
