Hagi-yaki tea bowl by Goro Tamura of Tsukaji Kiln, Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture. This is a traditional Ido-style tea bowl, the quintessential Hagi tea bowl. I think it would be perfect for preparing thick tea. Goro-san's works have a thick glaze and a smooth texture that feels comfortable in the hand. - The first five photos appear slightly white due to the camera's automatic light adjustment; the side views (the next four photos) show the correct color. - Pottery mark on the side of the foot. - Approximately 13 cm in diameter, approximately 8.5 cm in height. - Comes with a wooden box, a pamphlet, and a cloth. Thank you for looking.
