Tea bowl

Description

Tea bowl (hirajawan)
This tea bowl, purchased in 1904 from Yamanaka and Company in New York, is made from fine-grained, buff clay with a pale greenish glaze. Its patina of brown stain on its bottom and lower sides&#151;the result of its use in the tea ceremony&#151;gives it a chromatic complexity that would have appealed to Freer, who displayed it with similar bowls on the mantel of the Peacock Room.

Date

late 15th-early 16th century

Tea bowl

Description

Tea bowl
The Englishman James Lord Bowes (1834-1899), who once owned this bowl, began collecting Japanese ceramics at the 1867 Paris Exposition. This piece was an anomaly in his collection, which tended toward elaborate enamel-decorated export wares from Satsuma, Kutani, and Kyoto. Its simplicity and crackled, greenish-brown glaze were, however, very much in keeping with Freer's taste. In 1908, Freer displayed it with an array of similar tea bowls on the mantel beneath Whistler's painting <i>La Princesse du pays de la porcelaine.</i>
