The warm cinnabar red around the rim of this stoneware bowl gently emerges from the cool blue celadon of its body. Achieving these two hues individually is difficult, and their combination on a single piece is a testament to Fujihira’s mastery of glazes. The smooth glaze that pools at the bowl’s hip offers a tactile contrast with the rough, unglazed base.N/A
