These are beautiful peacock-colored tea and matcha bowls. This is an expressive piece, with its peacock hue changing depending on the angle from which it is viewed. The colors are particularly eye-catching at tea ceremonies and tea gatherings. The deep hue is never obtrusive and blends well with Japanese spaces. The deep, vivid colors also blend well with European interiors. This is a piece that will make a statement when displayed in a room. The artist is a venerable Japanese artist who has been elected a full member of the Japan Kogei Council. Of particular note is the use of clay from Mount Fuji in this piece. Lava sand and burnt sand from Mount Fuji are mixed with burnt Japanese pampas grass ash, crystal from Yamanashi Prefecture, natural clay, and a unique glaze, and then fired. The final photo shows the sun setting over Mount Fuji. The beautiful gradation is reflected in the colors of this vase. The artist's intentions are deeply conveyed.
