Tea Bowl ■ Soulful High Foot, Old Hagi Period, Small Tea Bowl, Ultimate Crackle, Hagi's Seven Transformations, Edo Period, Sake Cup, Tea Ceremony Utensils, Antique Art, Antiques ■ Due to being an antique and period piece, there are signs of aging such as glaze peeling, kiln marks (scratches from production), and crackling. What may seem like imperfections at first glance are actually the greatest charm of this tea bowl, and are the "highlights" that tea masters adore. This is a piece that embodies the "proof of life." It has age and a very good flavor. This is a fine work that was cherished by a collector. It has a charm that cannot be fully conveyed through photos alone, and it is a piece that I highly recommend you hold in your hands. Size: 12.9 x 8.6 cm The biggest highlight is the powerful high foot carved into the bottom. This is a symbol of the longing for old ceramics that were once brought from Korea, and the "unintentional beauty" in the tea ceremony. The sharpness of this carving and the rustic expression of the exposed clay are something that modern artists cannot possibly imitate, exuding an overwhelming presence that only period pieces possess. Covering the entire vessel is a beautiful, fine crackle like the cracks in a gemstone. The more you use it, the more the tea will seep in, promising the "joy of nurturing" as its appearance changes over time. The shape leading to the tea pool (inside) is calculated to the ultimate degree so that the green color will be most beautiful when tea is prepared. The weighty feel in your hand, the gradation of the kiln-changed glaze, and the calm texture that suggests it has been carefully passed down through the ages. Although there is no accompanying box, the "class" that the vessel itself speaks of is something that sets it apart from other tea ceremony utensils. While there are scratches and stains appropriate for its age, this is proof that it is a true antique. It is a supreme masterpiece that you should hold in your hands, not only for practical use, but also for changing the atmosphere of a room just by displaying it in a tokonoma (alcove), for those who truly understand its value.
