Title

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

Contributor

Gift of Charles Lang Freer
Yamanaka and Co.

Format

Stoneware with ash glaze
Seto ware
HxWxD: 5.8 x 15.5 x 15.5 cm
