Tea bowl with a brownish black glaze c. 1900 - 1968

This tea bowl, created by A.L. Hetherington sometime between 1900 and 1968, showcases a simple yet elegant design. The bowl's rounded shape and smooth, brownish-black glaze create a sense of understated beauty, reflecting the principles of Japanese aesthetics. The subtle silver rim adds a touch of refinement, while the unglazed base reveals the natural texture of the clay. This tea bowl, measuring 6.8 cm in height and 12.3 cm in diameter, is a testament to the enduring appeal of functional pottery.
