H10.8 x W10.8 x D10.8 cmC18013Courtesy of Ippodo GalleryMokichi Otsuka, Tea Bowl, 2018$ 1,500.00Otsuka coated this tea bowl with a thick layer of chestnut-brown glaze before rubbing random points on the bowl’s exterior to expose round pockets of rust-brown clay. In contrast to the brown body, a layer of blue-grey glaze highlights the bowl’s craggy rim. The bowl’s deep form is designed to retain the temperature of hot tea and suggests that this bowl is intended for a wintertime tea ceremony.Ceramic
