This tea bowl by Shiro Tsujimura is an example of a traditional black tea bowl. This piece has a stoneware base clay body and the artist included his signature with black slip at the base of the bowl. The matte black glaze of the cup accentuates the overall form, grooves, and areas of artist manipulation. A unique piece, the cup has a kintusgi, gold lacquer, repair at the lip. The gold lacquer catches the light and elevates the piece through adding a story of its history.
