Teabowl 1800 - 1833

This simple, yet elegant teabowl, crafted by Kenzan III between 1800 and 1833, exemplifies the understated beauty of Japanese ceramics. The piece, made of black stoneware, showcases a smooth, subtly rounded form with subtle striations around the base, adding a touch of texture. The teabowl, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
