This tea bowl by Kai Tsujimura is vivid and fresh. The colors, red hot from the kiln, reveal the process of firing. The slightly metallic sheen of the Tea Bowl, evidence of flashing, gives the piece a glow, like the inside of a fresh oyster. The mineral deposits from the kiln reveal itself alongside the surface of the form with specks of salt and ash.
