Bizen Raku tea bowl made by the late Seisui Nishikawa of Takeko Kiln. This is likely an experimental piece, fired with Raku glaze on Bizen clay (Bizen clay and glaze typically don't work well together, and usually crack during firing). It appears to be hand-formed and finished on a potter's wheel. 【Size】 Diameter: 15.6cm Height: 6cm Foot diameter: 5.5cm Weight: 282g Please allow for some error due to amateur measurement. 【Delivery Date and Time Not Specified】 Due to the specifications of Yu-Yu Mercari delivery, delivery date and time cannot be specified. 【No Price Reduction】 This item is not subject to price reduction.
